Former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has described as false and unfounded the report linking him to a purported arrested helicopter supplying food to bandits.
He dissociated himself from such “a heinous crime that is unbecoming of any patriotic citizen.”
The former Nigerian leader said would have ignored the report, but he had to set the record straight.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Dr.Yakubu Suleiman, Abubakar said the “fake news has the potential of aggravating the already tense security situation in the country and should not be condoned.”
He described those behind the report as callous to have peddled such news to smear his image and character of people.
He urged Nigerians to ignore such treacherous acts and be careful with the kind of information they dish out and share on social media.
He further urged Nigerians to continue to work and pray for enduring peace in Nigeria.
