A yet-to-be-identified man attempted to breach the security perimeter around President Bola Tinubu on Thursday during an official visit to Kaduna State.
The President was in Kaduna to commission several projects
executed by Governor Uba Sani’s administration when the incident occurred.
The man reportedly attempted to approach the President while
he was delivering his speech, prompting a brief pause from Tinubu, who appeared
momentarily surprised.
Members of the President’s security detail quickly
intervened, restraining the intruder before he could get any closer.
In a calm response to the incident, President Tinubu said,
“Leave him alone,” before continuing his speech without further interruption.
Reacting to the incident in a post on X.com (formerly
Twitter), Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Digital/New Media, Otega Ogra,
praised the professionalism of the security personnel who managed the
situation.
“Handled with utmost professionalism by secret service
agents without any disruption to Mr President’s speech or the event,” Ogra wrote.
“FYI, Mr President is protected by some of the finest, well-trained and most professional officers and agents from our internal security, intelligence, and military institutions,” he added.
