Gen Abdulsalami debunks link with helicopter supplying food to bandits
A former head of state, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, has debunked insinuations on social media, linking him with a helicopter reportedly supplying food to bandits.
The rumoured linked surfaced in the social media shortly after the reported news of helicopter supplying food to bandits.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Dr Yakubu Suleiman, Gen. Abdulsalami described as “false and unfounded the fake news linking him to a purported arrested helicopter supplying food to bandits.”
Abdulsalami said he would have “ordinarily, ignored such spurious news but has to set the record straight.
“General Abdulsalami A. Abubakar dissociate himself from such a heinous crime that is unbecoming of any patriotic citizen, ” the aide said.
He stated that “this kind of fake news has the potential of aggravating the already tense security situation in the country and should not be condoned.”
He wondered “how individuals can be so callous to peddle such news and smear the image and character of people.”
The media aide therefore urged Nigerians “to ignore such treacherous acts and to be careful with the kind of information they dish out and share on social media.”
He urged Nigerians to continue to work and pray for enduring peace in the country.
