The Defence Headquarters has announced the arrest of a man who
specializes in creating panic by sending out text messages threatening
attack by Boko Haram terrorists.
The suspect, Ugwu Lawrence (pictured) who was tracked by security operatives
after dispatching text messages of impending bombings of some hotels in
Abuja, confessed that he employed the gimmick because the management of
one of the organisation failed to offer him employment.
The suspect further confessed that his motive was a ploy
to instil fear in the mind of the management’s chairman, and pleaded
that he is actually not a terrorist. The suspect is still undergoing
further interrogation preparatory to prosecution.
