Gen. Abdulsalami Denies Links With Bandits, Terrorists

Former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd.) has described the news linking him to purported arrest of helicopters supplying food to bandits as false and unfounded.

The General’s media aide, Dr. Yakubu Suleiman, told journalists that he would have ignored such spurious news, but that he had to set the record straight.

“This kind of fake news has the potential of aggravating the already tense security situation in the country and should not be condoned,” he stated.

He lamented that individuals could be so callous to peddle such news and smear the image and character of people.

Telling Nigerians to ignore such treacherous acts and to be careful with the kind of information they dish out on social media, his media aide called on the citizens to continue working and praying for enduring peace in the country.
