Earlier this evening, there
were reports that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had told members of the National
Economic Council that intelligence reports indicates that Boko Haram were
planning to attack his home. The VP has denied making this statement. What he
said is contained in a statement signed by Laolu Akande, Snr Special
Assistant-Media&Publicity to Osinbajo
Media reports that there
was a plan by terrorists to bomb the house of the Vice President is completely
false with no iota of truth. An unendorsed press briefing note circulated today
by some officials of the National Planning Commission contains a flat-out wrong
claim.
That part of the note should read The Vice President
disclosed- security reports that scavengers are now being prepared by
insurgents.… to dump refuse laden with bombs in the houses of VIPs in the
Northeast. The note erroneously said “in the house of the Vice President.
During the NEC meeting earlier today, the Vice President had mentioned
intelligence reports which suggested that the terrorists have recruited people
such as "BABA BOOLA who are known to usually go about picking things from
the dust bins. The plan is to use the "BABA BOOLA" people to plant
bombs in houses of VIPs, offices and government installations in the Northeast.
Please take note of the correction, and ignore such media reports claiming
plans to bomb the VP’s house. Those reports are unfounded and utterly
baseless" the statement read
