Operatives of the Department of State Security were said to have later carried the man to an unknown location.
When contacted on the telephone last night, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed the incident, saying the man was an overzealous supporter of the president who did not know that he had crossed the line of security.
Shehu said: “He is an overzealous supporter who wanted to reach the president clearly out of goodwill.
“He didn’t know the limit and the security implication. He didn’t know that he was crossing the line of security,” he claimed.
