IGP – Aisha Buhari
The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ignored the call by the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari.
Aisha stated that her security aides remained in detention despite her plea for their release – and they were not replaced.
According to Vanguard, she added: “You don’t play with the protection of the First Family.”
Aisha Buhari made the demand for the release of her aides in Police custody following the trouble that ensued between her and Private Secretary to the President, Yusuf Sabiu, aka Tunde, who is also a nephew to the President.
The trouble started on Thursday night when the First Lady’s Aide-de-camp, Usman Shugaba, attempted to force Sabiu into self -isolation over COVID-19 fears.
However, Sabiu, who had reportedly return from Lagos that night, insisted that he will not leave his residence at the precincts of the Presidential Villa despite the intervention of Aisha Buhari and her children.
It was later reported that the incident led to shooting in the presidential villa and Sabiu, the powerful aide, secured the arrest of Aisha Buhari’s aides who attacked him.
However, a family member on Sunday said as of 4 pm on Saturday, the aides were still in police custody.
He said, ‘’Tunde met the NNPC GMD, Maikanti Baru, who recently died of COVID-19. He also visited several other places. Instead of going on self-isolation, he decided to return to the Villa and he is one of the few aides that has direct access to the President.
“The President is almost 80 and he is very vulnerable given his medical history. We advised Tunde not to see the President but he refused and forced his way into the Villa. He was able to get the First Lady’s aides arrested because of the influence he wields.
“We have a rule in the Villa that those who have direct access to the President should reduce their engagement with people. Even the new Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, has been adhering to the rule but Tunde seems to be a law unto himself.”
When asked whether the First Lady’s aides had been released, the President’s relative said, “As I speak to you, they have remained in custody, exposing them to possible infection of COVID-19.”
Meanwhile, it was learned that a battle line has been drawn as the President’s wife and children declared war on Sabiu, who some claimed was beginning to wield as much influence as the President’s late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
Sabiu, who was nicknamed ‘Tunde’ after Buhari’s late ally, Gen. Tunde Idiagbon, is the son of Mamman Daura’s sister.
Aisha had, on Friday, called on the IG to immediately release her aides.
She said: “Finally, I call on the IGP to release my assigned Staff who are still in the custody of the police in order to avoid putting their lives in danger or exposure to COVID-19 while in their custody.”

Is a family matter but I doubt if Aisha actually informed PMB about this case before going after the traveller. If she did so, PMB would have been the one ordering the isolation and I doubt if the traveller will say NO..
As it a family issueis more to this which we can never know. Obody has heard from the traveller and we cannot determine the real reason from one side of the story.
Aisha is not respecting the president and that is women for you. No matter how highly you maybe placed, your wife will not fear you.
She knows Buhari very well and feel he cannot do her anything but keeping her aids pains her. Those aids cannot be released unless PMB orders that. She should leave IGP alone. He is doing his job.
Aisha is right to insist that Mr. Tunde should be in self isolation.
Without being told, Tunde should know what to do.
If he was in contact with Covid positive person, he should quarantine until he tested negative with no symptoms. He should consider others and not intentionally put people at risk.
The first family knows only to extend Lock down. This act signals the down fall of the PMB. This was how the wife of Jonathan started causing some authoritative conflicts and that leads to the down fall of Jonathan.
Innocent, the wife of Jonathan had no hands in President Jonathan losing reelection. The people that planted Boko Haram already planned it out by on how to use Boko Haram to blackmail President Jonathan. Northern and western Nigeria gang-up to make sure loses, etc
His our president really in charge,why his he allowing a family member or members of his cabinets to molesting his wife, he forgot that after presidency he will fall back to his immediate family (wife and children). Those are just doing all this,because he was there today,when his not tomorrow they will surely run away. Mr president should respect his family
The Nigeria first family ( the occupants of Aso Villa) are nuisance
The president is not in control of his family. Can somebody tell me, how he can control the nation if he cannot control his family?

Buhari can not even take charge of his own house tackles of the country as a whole. The man PMB is weak in the head. All of them in the villa including the herdsman are riffraff. They are making fools of themselves. They are supposed to be rearing cattle in the ranches, and highly unfit for the villa.
