President Buhari has ordered the immediate arrest of Musa
Yola, the younger brother of his wife, Aishat Buhari.
A close confidant of the suspect alleged that he reportedly
scammed an unidentified businessman of a whopping
N300million with the promise of helping him secure oil block
from the Buhari’s administration.
A security source said Buhari ordered his arrest last Monday
night.
He was immediately arrested and put in handcuffs in the
company of the businessman he duped and paraded before
Buhari.
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.
Alhaji Musa Yola was said to have refunded the money on
Wednesday after which he was released on bail.
