‘Atiku’s life in danger’ - US lobby firm alleges assassination plot

A United States-based policy advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has alleged a plot to kill the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar.

In a post on its verified X handle, Von Batten-Montague-York accused the Nigerian Presidency of being behind the alleged plot.

The lobby firm warned against a political assassination that would cause geopolitical shockwaves and force the United States to act.

"We find the reports that the Nigerian Presidency and its agents are allegedly plotting to assassinate former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar very troubling. Atiku’s life is in danger.

"Dr Von Batten fully intends to bring these latest allegations against Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to the attention of the Trump Administration and Congress.

"The United States has given President Bola Tinubu enough rope. A word of advice to President Tinubu and company; it will not end well for you," the lobby firm tweeted.
