According to Premium Times the
presidency has denied recent reports that Muhammadu Buhari ordered the
Department of State Sevice (DSS) to arrest his brother-in-law Musa Yola over
suspicion of fraud.
Garba Shehu, the
presidential spokesperson, categorically denied the allegations by saying:
“It is definitely not true,
there is no iota of truth on this report there is no basis for the president to
do that.”
Meanwhile, Yola also said
that he was not arrested and was shocked to see the reports in the social
media.
“As we speak, I am in the
president’s office and I was with him last night,” he said.
Yola further stressed that
he had never been involved in forgery or fraud and had never been apprehended
by either the police or DSS or any security agency for that matter.
“I simply don’t know or understand
who is behind these malicious rumours,” he wondered.
It would be recalled that
reports posted on Monday, June 29, said that Buhari ordered to arrest his
wife’s younger brother after he duped an unnamed businessman N300 million
promising to give him political access to secure an oil block from the Buhari
administration.
However, a source in the
DSS said that there was no such order from the president. He also added the SSS
had no one in detention bearing the name Musa Yola in recent times.
