Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has returned to Nigeria after an over two weeks vacation trip to Dubai.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Atiku returned from Dubai in a private jet on Sunday at about 1:30 am.
TNG gathers a special security squad comprised of the Army, Police, Custom and Immigration officers carried out a thorough security check on the former Vice President and his aircraft.
During the search, video recording gadgets and other devices were used to capture the exercise but nothing implicating was found on the Adamawa-born politician.
However, supporters of the presidential candidate have condemned the security check, describing it as harassment.
According to Ilemona Onoja, aide to Senate President Bukola Saraki, Atiku was harassed by the special security squad.
“Apparently, lies propaganda and intimidation are going to be fixtures in this election,” he tweeted.
