Men of the State Security Services
(SSS) have arrested 20 year old Jibrin Magaji in Gamawa local government
area of Bauchi State over threat on facebook to kill Senator Babayo
Garba Gamawa and his daughter if he refused to grant his monetary
request.
A security source
in the SSS confirmed the arrest of the suspect, saying the “suspect was
arrested at the weekend after we received the report that the man sent a
request to Senator Gamawa who was a onetime Bauchi State deputy
governor”.
The source said the
senator reported the matter to SSS who investigated the matter and
arrested the suspect inside a toilet in Gamawa, saying the suspect had
confessed that it was poverty that led him to make the threat and he
will be handed over to the police for further investigation and
prosecution.
He advised people to stop accepting friend request from the people they don’t know on facebook and other social pages.
Effort
to speak to Senator Gamawa failed as he had travelled out of the
country. But a closest friend and an associate to the senator, who
craved for anonymity, confirmed the incident.
