Aisha Buhari denies Misau Allegations

Aisha Buhari

In the wake of fresh allegations against the IGP, Mr Misau who reappeared before the Senate Committee on Ethics which is investigating the allegations he made earlier, claimed that Mr Idris purchased two Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) for Mrs Buhari for personal use.

He said: 

I still have some of those papers that the IG himself submitted to the court where the first lady (Mrs Buhari), through her ADC, requested for a Toyota Hiace and one Siena.

The same day that the ADC wrote, the IGP minute that she should be given two jeeps and it is not part of the appropriation. If you look at the appropriation, there is nowhere they said the first lady should be given two jeeps    he added.

Mrs Buhari in a tweet has, however, denied the claims saying: “I am still using my personal cars”.

The disagreement between the lawmaker and the IGP appears to be one with no end in sight as Misau’s reappearance before the committee comes six days after the Federal Government dragged him before a court in Abuja.

He was arraigned on Thursday last week before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory and charged with five counts bordering on dissemination of falsehood against the police, the IGP, and the Police Service Commission between August and October 2017.

The senator, however, pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

The court granted him a bail bond of five million naira and two sureties, as well as fixed November 28 and 29 for trial.
