Aisha Buhari, Nigeria`s first lady on Tuesday confirmed the arrest of her Aide De Camp, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Sani Baban-Inna for fraud.
Aisha, who spoke through a statement issued by her Director of Information, Suleiman Haruna,said,CSP Sani Baban-Inna has been her ADC since 2016 and has been associated with her ever since. However, to the utter dismay of Her Excellency, he has used the opportunity to defraud unsuspecting associates and officials as initial investigations have shown.
Consequently, the Nigeria Police Force, his employers arrested him to investigate the allegations leveled against him, this, being within their jurisdiction, she said.
“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.”
