The squad, Frank alleged, were armed with recording gadgets in and out of Atiku’s aircraft; “to see if he returned to the country with foreign currencies or any other implicating materials.”
“Due to information at our disposal, I have been saying it that the PDP presidential candidate is not save under this administration because the Buhari’s administration is deploying all manners of devilish strategies to nail all the opposition leaders especially, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“We are using this medium to inform the international community to also take note of how Buhari administration is intimidating the opposition presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who has served Nigeria as Vice President for eight years,” the statement read.
