The arrest was reported by Punch and Punch Nigeria.\n\nThe incident and arrest are the only details available, and no further information is provided in the reports.\n\nA separate report from Daily Post Nigeria discusses an unrelated incident involving the arrest of two men, Ogbonna David and Chidiebere Okonkwo, for allegedly vandalising a communication mast in Minna, but this is not connected to the arrest of the security guard.",
