Press Statement from the Wife of the
President
The attention of wife of the President, Dr. Mrs. Aisha
Muhammadu Buhari has been drawn to some media publications and
releases purporting illegal detention of her Aide De Camp (ADC)
over allegations of fraud.
The story as it pertains to her ADC, Chief Superintendent of
Police (CSP) Sani Baban-Inna has it that he has been detained on
the orders of Her Excellency for dropping her name and defrauding
unsuspecting officials and associates. She wishes to use this
opportunity to refute such allegation and to state that she has no
hand in his arrest and detention.
CSP Sani Baban-Inna has been her ADC since 2016 and has been
associated with her ever since. To the utter dismay of Her
Excellency, he has used the opportunity to defraud unsuspecting
associates and officials as initial investigations have
shown.
The Nigeria Police Force, his employers arrested him to
investigate the allegations leveled against him, this, being within
their jurisdiction.
She therefore wishes to use this opportunity 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. She is therefore imploring
anyone that has been defrauded by Mr. Baban-Inna to get across to
him to retrieve whatever he took from them. Mrs. Buhari wishes to
reiterate that she will not condone fraudulent behavior by any of
her staff.
She uses this opportunity to call 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. As she always emphasizes, this government
was voted into office based on the trust and confidence of the
people.
