Nigerian Police Say Man Who Tried To Run To Tinubu In Kaduna Has Mental illness | Sahara Reporters
According to the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, Mansir Hassan, Mohammed suffers from "psychiatric disorders" and was born with the condition.
The police in Kaduna State have identified the man who attempted to approach President Bola Tinubu during his official visit to the state as Umar Mohammed, a native of Anguwan Muazu in Kaduna.
According to the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, Mansir Hassan, Mohammed suffers from "psychiatric disorders" and was born with the condition.
In a statement issued by the police, the incident occurred due to Muazu's excitement, which led him to breach protocol in a bid to get a closer look at President Tinubu.
The statement also noted that no incriminating item was found on him.
In a video earlier seen by SaharaReporters, the President's security details swung into action after a tense moment when the man tried to approach the President, who then said, "leave him alone."
SaharaReporters reported that, at the event, a newly constructed 300-bed specialist hospital in Kaduna State was named after Tinubu, amid growing discontent over the country's current socio-economic situation.
The facility, located in Millennium City, Kaduna, the state capital, was unveiled on Thursday by Governor Uba Sani, who christened it the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital.
The hospital is one of the most recent major health projects undertaken by the Kaduna State Government under the current administration.
During the commissioning ceremony, Governor Sani lavished praise on the President, attributing his inspiration and achievements in Kaduna to Tinubu’s leadership.
"Your leadership is a beacon of light; it is working, it is changing lives," Sani declared while addressing the audience.
The renaming comes nine days after the Abuja International Conference Centre, built in 1991, was renamed after him by the Federal Capital Territory Administration.
The event, held in the Federal Capital Territory, was attended by key government figures, including FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and other top officials.
