Aisha, wife of President
Muhammadu Buhari, has spoken on the arrest of Sani Baban-Inna, her aide de camp
(ADC).
In a statement issued on her
behalf by Suleiman Haruna, her media aide, the president’s wife said the police
arrested Baban-Inna to investigate the allegations leveled against him.
She alleged that he used his
position to defraud unsuspecting associates and government officials.
Buhari’s wife appealed to those
who might have fallen victim of his “antics” to come forward and disclose what
he collected from them.
“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 statement read.
“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.”
