President Muhammadu Buhari owns the sprawling Asokoro
lakeside mansion located at number 9, Udo Udoma Street, Asokoro, Abuja,
BREAKING TIMES can authoritatively report.
Investigations by our reporter on Wednesday unveiled
President Muhammadu Buhari’s hidden property situated at a choice location in
Asokoro beside an exotic lake few yards away from the Aso Rock Presidential
Villa fence.
Since his inauguration on Friday May 29, heavy security
presence has been deployed around the area surrounding the property. BREAKING
TIMES reporters at the risk of their lives managed to take photographs of the
sprawling triple-duplex property on Wednesday. See more photos after cut
Professional estate surveyors have valued the land on which
the property sits at approximately N1.2 billion. Each of the three duplexes is
valued at N300 million and this, when added to the cost of the land is
approximately N2.1 billion. Also, rent from tenants on each of the three duplexes
is estimated at N6 million per annum.
President Buhari’s Asokoro property has been home to a
former High Commissioner of an African country to Nigeria. The family of the
late Special Adviser on Strategy and Documentation to former President Goodluck
Jonathan, Oronto Douglas, are tenants at the Buhari Asokoro property, a source
who pleaded anonymity disclosed to BREAKING TIMES.

The discovery of the Buhari Asokoro mansion may have cast
another huge credibility question on the modest and anti-corruption credentials
that got him elected on March 28, 2015.
It will be recalled that BREAKING TIMES on Monday exposed
details of how the new First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari wore a Cartier Baignoire
Folle 18-Carat White Gold Diamond Ladies Watch that cost £34,500 (N10, 453,
000) to the presidential inauguration on May 29, 2015
The exposure of Buhari’s hidden assets is coming at a time
Nigerians have intensified calls for the new President and Vice-President to
publicly declare their assets as they promised to do during the presidential
campaign.
