Buhari Orders Arrest of His Wife’s Younger Brother over Fraud

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered Nigeria’s security agents to arrest his brother-in-law for allegedly extorting money from an unnamed businessman, a close confidante of the Nigerian leader told SR. He said the suspect, named Musa Yola, was the immediate younger brother of Buhari’s wife.

The source disclosed that Musa Yola, also addressed as “Alhaji Yola,” reportedly received N300m from a businessman after promising to provide his dupe with political access to secure an oil block from the Buhari administration.

According to our source, Buhari personally ordered last Monday night that Yola be produced before him in handcuffs in the company of the businessman he duped.

After telling the businessman that he was stupid to part with such significant cash when he should know that he, 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 SSS to ensure that the businessman recovered his money from his brother-in-law.

An SSS source told Sahara Reporters, “Alhaji Yola has refunded the money to the affected businessman,” and added that: “Alhaji Yola has been released on bail.”
