Man Who Breached Tinubu’s Security In Kaduna Has Psychiatric Disorder - Police

The Kaduna police command says a man who attempted to breach security protocol during President Bola Tinubu’s visit to the state “is of
unsound mind”.

 

Tinubu was in Kaduna to inaugurate several projects executed
by Uba Sani’s administration and was delivering a speech when a man now
identified by the police as Umar Muhammed interrupted the president’s speech
when he tried to approach him.

 

Tinubu’s security detail immediately restrained him, but the
president asked them to “leave him alone”.

 

In a statement giving an update on the incident, Mansir
Hassan, police spokesperson in Kaduna, said the investigation showed Mohammed
was born with “psychiatric disorders”.



Hassan said upon interrogation, Mohammed explained that he
has held a lifelong desire to meet with the president and governor and acted
out of excitement.

 

The police spokesperson added that Mohammed was screened as
a supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) before being granted access
to the venue of the event, noting that he was thoroughly searched and no
incriminating item was found on him.

 

“The Command wishes to set the record straight regarding the
viral video showing a young supporter who attempted to approach restricted
area, during a recent official function held in Murtala Square in Kaduna,” the
statement reads.

 

 

“The individual in question is one Umar Mohammed, a native
of Anguwan Muazu in Kaduna. He was born with psychiatric disorders; he is of
unsound mind.

 

“He is an ardent supporter of Mr. President and the Governor
according to our findings. Nevertheless he was screened and admitted into the
stadium as an APC supporter, wearing the standard campaign T-shirt and carrying
banners bearing the images of the President and the Governor, like every other
supporter screened and admitted into the Stadium by the event screening team.

 

“According to our preliminary investigation it was revealed
that, he was among the supporters standing in the designated area for the party
supporters before he suddenly breached the protocol barge into the restricted
perimeter fence and jumped into the Arena out of curiosity and excitement to
catch a closer look at the President.

 

“He was immediately blocked and arrested instantly by the
inner cordon security. On interrogation he stated that he acted out of anxiety
and emotional excitement, expressing a long-held desire to meet with the
governor and the president.”

 

Meanwhile, Rabiu Muhammad, the state commissioner of police,
said the viral video showing Mohammed breaching security protocol was doctored
“to distort the true nature of the incident for political gain”.

 

Muhammad warned “mischief makers” to desist from sharing
false information or politicising security matters.

 

“The matter is under investigation, and those spreading
falsehoods will be invited for questioning and will be prosecuted if found
culpable,” he said.
