Aisha buhari denies release of ADC

2.5 billion naira is hanging in the balance, and wife of the president, Aisha Buhari wants to see the end of the matter.

There were reports that her Aide De Camp (ADC), CSP Sani Baban-Inna, has been released by the Department of State Service (DSS), but Buhari has denied the story.

“The officer (Baban-Inna) is being investigated on allegation of corrupt practices, which is a serious offence” wrote Suleiman Haruna, Director of Information in the office of Mrs Buhari.

“As such, it is unlikely that the DSS will compromise and release him mid-way without completing the investigation,’’ the statement read.

Baban-Inna was detained by the DSS over allegations of collecting N2.5 billion on behalf of the First Lady without her consent.

She had earlier refuted allegations suggesting that she used her ADC to collect funds from unsuspecting members of the Public.

“I wish to use this opportunity to inform the general public that I have never sent any of my staff to collect any favours on my behalf or on behalf of my children and will never do so,” she said.

“Baban-Inna has been my ADC since 2016 and has been associated with me ever since,” she said in a statement by her spokesman (Haruna).

She expressed surprise that the initial investigation showed Baba-Inna allegedly used her name for some suspicious activities.

She denied having any connection with his arrest and detention as the Nigeria Police, being the constituted authority, have the power to do so.

“It was the Nigeria Police Force, being his employer, that arrested him to investigate the allegations leveled against him because the case is within their jurisdiction,” she said.

Aisha advised the suspected victims of the scam to recover their money and whatever he took from them from Baban-Inna.
