A 35-year-old man, Musa Ibrahim, from the Maduganari area of Maiduguri, was arrested after attempting to break into Vice President Kashim Shettima’s private residence in Maiduguri.
The incident occurred around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday at the residence located in New GRA, Gwange 3 Ward, off Bama Road.
According to intelligence sources shared by security analyst Zagazola Makama in a post on X, the suspect attempted to scale the perimeter wall of Shettima’s home via the Gadabul River bank on the western side of the property.
When spotted by security personnel, Ibrahim attempted to flee but was shot in the leg and apprehended. He was quickly transported to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) for treatment, where he is said to be responding well to care.
The case has now been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.
Following the attempted break-in, security protocols at the Vice President’s residence have been reviewed and enhanced to prevent future occurrences.
