- A man in Abuja has climbed a telecommunication mast in protest against the American University of Nigeria (AUN)
- AUN is a private university owned by PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
- The incident happened at the high-brow Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja
A man identified as Musa Wakatu on Monday, November 12, climbed a telecommunication mast over an alleged land encroachment by the American University of Nigeria (AUN).
According to Sahara Reporters, the man climbed the mast at NICON junction in highbrow Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as a form of protest.
AUN is a private university owned by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate and former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
According to the report, he threw leaflets from the mast to the crowd who had thronged the area, alleging that Atiku, through his university, had encroached and fenced his landed property at Bajabure in Girei local government area in Yola, Adamawa state, and built structures inside.
He said he had protested on the same matter on March 14, 2012 when he climbed a mast at federal high court in Abuja but nothing was done.
“I wrote a complaint letter to the former IG Mr. Hafiz Ringim and delivered to force headquarters on 5th December 2011 with visitor tag No.054 without any positive result,” the leaflet read.
He said he was lured to collect money as compensation from AUN which he rejected but was later locked up in the cell.

He added that he was ready to pursue the case to the world court in order to get justice.
The leaflet also contained his bank account name and number seeking financial assistance from Nigerians to enable him get lawyer for the case.

A detachment of policemen, who arrived the scene, appealed to Wakatu via phone to descend from the mast but he vowed not to disembark from the facility.
Meanwhile, Atiku returned to Nigeria in the early hours of Sunday, November 11, to a thorough search by state security agents.
The former vice-president returned from Dubai in a private jet around 12am, after spending over two weeks outside the country.
The Adamawa-born politician confirmed via a tweet that he was thoroughly searched by agents of the state, but added that he can't be intimidated.
