Buhari’s Aide Reacts To Shooting Incident In Presidential Villa
LAGOS JUNE 15TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Presidency Sunday formally reacted to the shooting incident inside the State House involving security personnel attached to the First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, as exclusively reported by THEWILL on Friday.
It was reported how the power tussle in the Presidential Villa between First Lady Aisha Buhari and Sabiu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf, the President’s influential Personal Assistant and favourite nephew, had taken a dangerous turn when the First Lady accompanied by her children – Zahra, Halima and Yusuf, – took a team of policemen led by her Aide-De-Camp to forcefully confront Tunde following an earlier heated disagreement over his refusal to self-isolate after his trip to Lagos to see his wife, who had just given birth to a boy. The Aide-De-Camp and the police on Mrs. Buhari’s escort team, we were told by our sources, fired some shots as Tunde fled on foot during the brawl that ensued.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu released the following statement.
“The Presidency wishes to acknowledge concerns expressed by several members of the public regarding the recent incident among the occupants of the State House which escalation led to the arrest of some staff by the police.
This is to assure all and everyone that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, is not, and was not at anytime in any form of danger arising, either from deadly infections or the reported incident by security personnel which is currently under investigation.
This particular incident happened outside the main residence of the President.
Armed guards and other security personnel assigned to the State House receive the necessary training of especially weapons handling and where they come short, their relevant agencies have their rules and regulations to immediately address them.
Having authorized the proper investigation to be carried out into this unfortunate incident by the Police, the President has acted in compliance with the rule of law.
That a minor occurrence is being used by some critics to justify attacks on the government and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari beggars belief.
In this particular instance, the President says the law should be allowed to take its course.”
