BREAKING: Army, Police, Customs Search Atiku On Arrival From Dubai
Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has returned from his vacation trip to Dubai around 12:00am, early Sunday morning, and was greeted by a special security squad comprising of Army, Police, Custom and Immigration officers allegedly deployed by the presidency to do a thorough search on the former Vice President and his aircraft, Blueprint reports.
I arrived to Abuja this morning to a search by agents of the state, aimed at intimidating me and my staff.
I am committed to building a Nigeria where no citizen is intimidated by agents of state who are paid to protect them.
Together, #LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain.

PLUSMILA MDEIA learnt that during the search, video recording gadgets and other devices were use to capture the exercise but nothing implicating was found on the Adamawa-born Politician.
Reacting to the news, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri took to his verified Twitter handle to express his displeasure.
Omokri, in another tweet on Sunday asked the Nigerian security to face Boko Haram, not Atiku.
.@Atiku just returned to Nigeria and @MBujari sent a team of Army, Police, Custom & Immigration officers to surround then search his plane. What were they hoping to find? What is Buhari afraid of? Why this harassment? If Buhari performed would he be afraid of losing? #RenosDarts

Why did @MBuhari order such a large military force to surround and search the plane of @Atiku, the Presidential candidate of the @OfficialPDPNig? Was he hoping that they’d find his non existing @WAECNigeria certificate? Our security should face Boko Haram not Atiku #RenosDarts
