Former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar has described as false and unfounded, the fake news linking him to a purported arrested helicopter supplying food to bandits.
A statement by Dr Yakubu Suleiman, the Media Aid to the former Military Head of state general Abdulsalami Abubakar made available to ASHENEWS on Sunday, disassociated “himself from such a heinous crime that is unbecoming of any patriotic citizen.”
According to him, he would ordinarily have ignored such spurious news but has 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 lamented how individuals can be so callous to peddle such news and smear the image and character of people,” the statement reads.
While urging “Nigerians to ignore such treacherous acts and to be careful with the kind of information they dish out and share on social media,” Abdulsalami further said “Nigerians should continue to work and pray for enduring peace in Nigeria.”
