BY EVELYN DADU, ABUJA – The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari has denied involvement in the arrest and detention of her Aide De Camp (ADC), Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Sani Baban-Inna over allegations of fraud.
Mrs. Buhari while refuting her involvement in the arrest and detention of Baban-Inna, who has been her ADC since 2016, used the opportunity to express her utter dismay on the police officer to defraud unsuspecting associates and officials as initial investigations have shown.
A statement by the Director of Information to the wife of the President, Suleiman Haruna said the Nigeria Police Force, who are Baban-Inna’s employers arrested him to investigate the allegations leveled against him, this, being within their jurisdiction.
The wife of the president pointedly said that she has no hand in his arrest and detention, adding that CSP Sani Baban-Inna has been her ADC since 2016 and has been associated with her ever since.
She therefore wishes to inform the general public that she has never sent any of her staff to collect any favours on her behalf or on behalf of her children and will never do so.
Mrs. Buhari therefore implored anyone that has been defrauded by CSP Baban-Inna to get across to him to retrieve whatever he took from them, stressing that she will not condone fraudulent behavior by any of her staff.
The wife of the president also called on all those in positions of authority to rise above intimidation by their aides and deal with such attitudes as extortion by name-dropping, especially within the Presidency.
She reemphasized that this government was voted into office based on the trust and confidence of the people.
