A campaign rally by Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Sokoto was moved from the trade fair complex to the stadium following a bomb scare.
Security sources told TheCable that at 5am on Thursday, a man on a motorcycle was seen making suspicious movements at the stadium, forcing agents to accost him.
It was rumoured that they discovered what looked like bombs on him but the police have dismissed the report.
El-Mustapha Sani Sal, the police spokesman in Sokoto state, denied knowledge of any such incident.

“I’m hearing it for the first time. It is not true. People should go about their normal business,” he told TheCable.
The trade fair complex had initially been slated for the rally but no explanations were given for the change in venue, which must have fulled the rumour.
Buhari slept in Gusau, Zamfara state, on Wednesday, ahead of the rally.
