The man responsible for Arik Air bomb scare has been released from police custody. The man, identified as Aminu Galadima, is an interior decorator with a history of mental illness. Mr Galadima was released after investigators were satisfied that he had no intentions of blowing up the plane and also had no ties to any terrorist group. A statement from the SSS when you continue...
This is a brief highlight of the incident that occurred on the Arik Air flight from Maiduguri to Abuja.
On Friday, 19th October, 2012, Wife of the SSG to the Borno State Government, Hajia Yachilla JIDDA, travelled to Maiduguri in company of one Aminu S. GALADIMA, an interior decorator based in Abuja to do some interior decoration work. On arrival in Maiduguri, he was lodged at Greenland Hotel. During the course of his stay, he exhibited unusual behaviour by smashing a window, and ended up with lacerations on his hands.
The SSG was contacted, and in collaboration with the Hotel management, subject was taken to Atal Hospital, also in Maiduguri, where he received treatment. His family in Abuja was contacted and they gave confirmation that GALADIMA has been mentally unstable. In addition, his elder brother who lives in the UK was contacted and he requested that subject be returned to Abuja for medical attention.
On Sunday, 21st October, 2012, he was taken to the airport to be returned to Abuja, but missed the flight. However, the Airport management was informed of his state of health, and they advised that whenever his return is scheduled, the management should be notified. Unfortunately, when GALADIMA was taken to the Airport on 23rd October for his return trip, the management of the Airport was not informed, and 10 minutes into the flight, due to slight turbulence, his condition was triggered off. Meanwhile, GALADIMA is in the custody of security forces.
This clarification has become necessary to dispel the unfounded rumours concerning the flight.

ReplyDeleteHian! Oh k oh! Itz jus dah we no wan hear say dem shoot bird gun, mama fly! #Jade Said#
ReplyDeleteHmmm, there is smtin fishy abt dis story Oº°˚˚°º, becos of govt connectn, he sas been released. Get rich or die trying. Only God will help us.
ReplyDeleteThey shld keep covering up and lying to themselves #GodisWatching
ReplyDeleteWhat about the explosive device? Abi that one na part of the madness ni?
ReplyDeleteQues no 1- How did he get an explosive device?
ReplyDeleteQues no 2- How did the said explosive device find its way into the plane pass check points/security?
Is it not frightening to note that its possible that anybody can board a plane with an explosive device without being detected? Nsogbu dikwa! I pray that this jist will fly over the heads of boko haram guys.
You know arik air & FAAN can easily conspire on hiding facts about an explosive device.I mean, its not good for their biz.The fact that it got on the plane through security would have heads rolling for sure! So why not cover up
ReplyDeleteReleased to go and finish the job.
ReplyDeleteWas he really investigated?
I don't believe this story. It doesn't add up. I believe that there was a proposed terrorist attack which failed. The people at the airport will not want to lose their jobs due to ineffective checking of passengers prior to boarding.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cock and bull story! Tell it to the marines!
Naija and cover ups,somebody have settled d sss guys to keep quite about it. May God deliver this country frm corruption. Viviy

ReplyDeletethe most important news here is that, the plane did not blow up. The rest is Occupational hazard! Those that ply the Air route should pray hard before/when embarking on a trip. I can still remember the Belview plane crash-AIT un-cut footage
ReplyDeleteIt was an attack. The next time, they may succeed. They kill innocent young men in the north claiming they are Boko Haram members. It's so sad how Nigerians swallow lies all the time. Absolutely ridiculous!

ReplyDeleteU don conclude already dat it wasn't it. His mental illness didn't see any other thing to play with but bomb. Abeg free naija and their investigation. D guy shld b killed; as they spring up we kill dem to go meet their 50 virgins.
ReplyDelete*sigh*naija!just praying that God wud continue to protect every1 especially my bro dt his travelling soon...
