First Lady Aisha Buhari's Brother, Musa Yola Denies Being Arrested Over N300m Fraud Report


The first Lady, Aisha Buhari's younger brother, Musa Yola, has denied media reports that circulated over the weekend that he was arrested on the order of President Buhari over a N300 million oil bloc fraud in an interview with Premium Times.

Sahara Reporters had published a report earlier today claiming Yola was arrested last week on the order of the President for defrauding a businessman of N300 million with the promise to help him secure an oil bloc. While speaking with Premium Times, Mr Yola said he was shocked at the reports.

“As we speak, I am in the President’s office and I was with him last night. I simply don’t know or understand who is behind these malicious rumours,” he said.

He added that he had never been involved in any Fraudulent act. Also speaking on the report, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, said there was no truth in the report

“It is definitely not true, there is no iota of truth in this report there is no basis for the president to do that,” he said.
