Nigerian businessman arrested near Jubilee House for blocking apartment entrance with armed men

National Security operatives, in a joint operation with the Police and Military—led by Richard Jakpa and the Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande—have arrested a Nigerian businessman named Ben Peters at the Aurora Apartments in Kanda, near the Jubilee House.

The businessman, along with some unidentified armed men, had reportedly blocked the entrance to the residential facility with his vehicles, denying access to other occupants of the apartment complex.

The Police have since arrested Mr. Peters, along with some individuals close to him, and his vehicles have been seized by National Security.

Commenting on the operation, Mustapha Gbande, said: “He has blocked the place such that no individual can go in or come out.

“Nobody can come into our country and take our people into this ransom. It is illegal and unlawful. This cannot be done in Nigeria and certainly not in this country.”

According to sources, Mr. Peters went into hiding and refused arrest until the President’s brother Ibrahim Mahama showed up at the scene before the security managed to arrest him.
