There were gunshots are the Presidential Villa Abuja when
First Lady, Dr. Aisha Buhari, members of her immediate family and her Aide-de-camp,
Usman Shugaba attempted to force Sabiu Yusuf, a Special Assistant to President
Muhammadu Buhari into self-isolation, according to ThisDay.
The incident, which is regarded as a ‘security breach’
happened after the Yusuf returned from Lagos State where his wife just put the
birth.
The newspaper reports that trouble started when the First
Lady, Zahra, Halima and Yusuf, accompanied by some of her security aides led by
the Aide-de-Camp, went to the residence of Sabiu, who is the President’s
nephew, demanding that he (Sabiu) self-isolate for 14 days, so as not to
endanger the first family.
Recall that the First Lady had in a series of tweets
yesterday confirmed the incident.
On the issue of self-isolation and breaking of the
interstate movement restrictions rules, Aisha had warned, “That COVID-19 is
real and still very much around in our nation is not in doubt. Consequently,
“I call on all relevant Government Agencies to enforce the
Quarantine Act signed by Mr. President and ensure no one is found violating
this law and the NCDC guidelines especially on interstate travel without the
necessary exemptions for movement of essentials.
“Anyone who does that should at the very least be made to
under go a 14 days mandatory isolation no matter who the person is, no one
should be above the law and the Police command will do well to remember that.”
Sabiu was said to have escaped after gunshots were fired by
the First Lady’s ADC in an attempt to apprehend the President’s aide.
He ran to the nearby residence of President Buhari’s cousin,
Mamman Daura, where he reportedly spent the night.
The attention of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed
Adamu, was drawn to the incident on Friday that gunshots were fired in the
precincts of the Presidential Villa
Hence, the IGP ordered the arrest of the Aide-de-camp to the
First Lady and all the security aides that accompanied her to Sabiu’s
residence.
In her tweets, the First Lady had called on the Inspector
General of Police to release her aides, saying, “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.”
