How Garba Shehu Deleted Tweet On Attempt To Rob Another Aso Rock Official

Amid a raging storm on the attempt to rob Professor Ibrahim
Gambari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Malam Garba
Shehu, presidential spokesman, deleted a tweet on the details of
the move to burgle the residence of another Aso Rock official.

About an hour after he commented on what he described as a
“foolish attempt” to burgle Gambari’s residence, Shehu tweeted on a
similar incident on the residence of Abdullahi Maikano, an official
at the presidency.

An online platform had reported that both Gambari and Maikano
were robbed inside the presidential villa.

According to the report, which has been trending online, armed
robbers invaded Aso Rock and emptied the residences of Gambari and
Maikano.

But Shehu had dismissed the report, commenting only on the
attempt on Gambari’s residence, which he said is outside the seat
of power.

“The Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari has confirmed
that there “was a foolish attempt” to burgle his residence at
3:00am this morning but it turned out to be unsuccessful.

“Professor Gambari, whose house is on a street next to the Villa
has assured that there is nothing to worry about from the
incident,” he had said in a terse statement.

But moments later, he tweeted on the attempt to burgle the
residence of Maikano.

The presidential spokesman had said the suspect behind the
incident was captured on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), adding
that the police were on his trail.

But surprisingly, he deleted the tweet which had been retweeted
over 200 times and posted a fresh one which had no information on
the CCTV part.

It is unclear if Shehu expunged that part because he felt it
could hamper investigation which he said was ongoing.

Below is what he replaced the deleted tweet with.
