President Muhammadu Buhari has on Sunday, June 29, 2015 ordered
Nigeria’s security agents to arrest his brother-in-law for allegedly extorting
money from an unnamed businessman, a close confidante of the Nigerian leader
told SaharaReporters. He said the suspect, named Musa Yola, and was the
immediate younger brother of Mr. Buhari’s wife.
It was disclosed that the suspect, also addressed as “Alhaji
Yola,” reportedly received N300 million from a businessman after promising to
provide his dupe with political access to secure an oil block from the Buhari
administration. According to our source, Mr. Buhari personally ordered last
Monday night that Mr. Yola be produced before him in handcuffs in the company
of the businessman he duped.
After telling the businessman that he was stupid to part
with such significant cash when he should know that he, Mr. Buhari, would not
participate in fraud, the president ordered agents of the State Security
Services (SSS) attached to Aso Rock Villa to thoroughly investigate the scam.
He also ordered the SSS operatives to ensure that the businessman recovered his
money from his brother-in-law.
An SSS source told SaharaReporters, “Alhaji Yola has
refunded the money to the affected businessman.” He added: “Alhaji Yola has
been released on bail.”
