Parading the suspects this morning, the Divisional
Police Officer in charge of the National Assembly
Complex, CSP Nancy Ajaponna said the syndicate was
accosted this morning by the joint operations of all the
security agencies working within the complex.
“Though the security operatives are doing their best to
make sure they take charge of the complex, but there are
some few elements that can penetrate the Assembly due
to the porous nature of some broken entrances,” CSP
Ajaponna explained.
She, however, assured the public that the suspects
would be thoroughly interrogated and other accomplices
within the National Assembly would be arrested and
prosecuted.
The Suspects, Dan Azumi Abubakar, Suleiman Obere and
Umar Isah were accosted by the JTF while trying to
escape through the Villa gate after scooping 10 jerrycans
of diesel from the power house.
While answering questions from journalists, the
suspects confessed to the crime. According to them, the
illegal oil business has been going on for some times
now.
