Plot To Overthrow Buhari: DSS Arrests Alleged Mastermind

The Department of State Services ( DSS) has arrested one Jones Abari, aka Gen. 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, Mr 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. 6:51 PM / IN News /
