The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested one Jones Abari, aka General Akotebe Darikoro, for the alleged mastermind of a hoaxed plan to overthrow President Muhammad Buhari by the military.
A statement issued by an official of the service, Tony Opuiyo in Abuja on Saturday said Abari was arrested in Yenagoa on July 21.
Opuiyo described the suspect as the leader of the Joint Revolutionary Council of the Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force ( JNDLF).
He said that Abari had confessed to
other criminal activities which included a threat to launch missile
attacks on selected targets in Abuja and Aso Rock.
Others include writing threat messages
to the management of the Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) and the Shell
Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) demanding for N500 million and N250
million respectively.
He said that the suspect also
masterminded the vandalism of NAOC trunk line in Ogboinbiri, Southern
Ijaw and bombing of SPDC oil pipeline.
In another development, the DSS said it had arrested a suspected terrorist, Bulama Ramat, at the Jabi Motor Park, FCT on July 21.
He said that prior to his arrest, Ramat
was planning to attack the Federal Capital Territory and its environs in
collaboration with other elements of an extremist cell of the Boko
Haram group.
Opuiyo said that the service also made
other arrests within the month of July in Enugu, Ondo, Jos, Kaduna,
Yenagoa, Port Harcourt and Kano states.
The service urged all citizens and
residents to remain vigilant and report all suspicious persons, parcels
or vehicles to the nearest security formation.
“Members of the public are further
called upon to see our societal and individual safety as our collective
responsibility,” he said.
He advised the public to support
security and law enforcement agencies with critical information that
would assist in providing a safe environment for all to carry out their
legitimate businesses.
