Buhari Lives Up To His Words, Arrests In Law And An Imposter

A few days after the swearing in of Major General Muhammad Buhari , the former military leader has began showing signs being tough, uncompromising honest and disciplined leader. By his showing he has begun serving notice to Nigerians that he would not condone corruption by causing the arrest of his own brother in law who attempted to dupe a fellow Nigerian. He also exposed a scammer who claimed to be his adopted son and goes by the name Mohammedu Buhari

The full stories monitored from Abuja, Nigeria go as follows:

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered Nigeria’s security agents to arrest the younger brother of his wife for allegedly extorting money from an unnamed businessman, reports Sahara Reporters.

The suspect, Musa Yola, is the immediate younger brother of Buhari’s wife.

The suspect, also addressed as “Alhaji Yola,” was accused of receiving N300 million from a businessman after promising to provide his dupe with political access to secure an oil block from the Buhari administration.

Buhari has ordered that Yola be brought before him in handcuffs in the company of the businessman he duped.

A visibly angry Buhari was reported to have slammed the businessman for parting with such significant cash when he has already made his stand known that he would not participate in any fraudulent transaction.

in another development the president has said that a young man who was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for a N20m scam and who claimed to be his adopted son was not his son.

The former Head of State said that he had no need to adopt any son as God had blessed him with both male and female children.

The disclaimer by Buhari was contained in a statement issued on his behalf by the Chairman of the Buhari Vanguard, Mr. Jasper Azuatalam, on Monday.

“Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) wishes to state categorically that he does not have any adopted son called “Muhammed Buhari” and had no need to adopt a son at any time having been blessed with choice children, both male and female.

“Muhammadu Buhari and his family do not know the said “Muhammed Buhari” who is alleged to be involved in an N20m scam and is being held by the EFCC as reported.”

Azuatalam urged Nigerians to ignore the report saying Buhari and his family would continue to set high standards for others to emulate.

He described the story as an attempt by mischief makers to smear the image of the former military leader.

He said that it was not enough to link the former Head of State with the arrest just because the person involved answers the name ‘Buhari.’

“Muhammadu Buhari is blessed with very decent and disciplined children who obviously took after their father.

“His children have no single record of stealing and inordinate behavior anywhere in the world. They do not seek attention, but have proven the stuff their father is made of any time their character is put to test,” he added.

Prior to his election the president promised to curb corruption when voted into office. Many people knowing the magnitude of corruption and stealing in high and low places in Nigeria doubted the president’s ability to be equal to the task. However the recent actions he has taken are indications that General Buhari can succeed in his avowed aim.
