General Buhari Distances Self From Alleged Scammer Arrested By The EFCC

General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) has reacted to the reports of his alleged adopted son's arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

It was reported yesterday, that the former Military Head of State and APC Chieftain's son was arrested for duping a businesswoman, Mrs Florence Nwokocha of a whopping sum of N20million under false pretences.

Buhari who has decided to clear the air has denied any involvement with the suspect in a statement issued by the General through Com Jasper Azuatalam, Chairman of the "Buhari Vanguard” stating the reports which has gone viral of the suspect being his son was politically motivated, as a way of tarnishing his image.

Read Full Disclaimer:

It is regrettable to note that after several unsuccessful attempts to smear the hard earned respect, popularity, dignity, and enviable image of Muhammadu Buhari, mischief makers have resorted to a laughable tactic of linking Muhammadu Buhari to a crime just because someone who has been alleged to have committed a crime somewhere bears the name “Buhari”.

Muhammadu Buhari wishes to state categorically that he does not have any adopted son called “Mohammed Buhari” and had no need to adopt a son at any time having been blessed with choice children, both male and females.  Muhammadu Buhari and his family do not know the said “Mohammed Buhari” who is alleged to be involved in a #20M scam and is being held by EFCC.

Muhammadu Buhari is blessed with very descent and disciplined children who obviously took after their father. His children have no single record of stealing and an 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.

However, this is understandable, since the entire attempts by mischief makers to discredit Muhammadu Buhari as an individual has failed. We frown at these poorly articulated gimmicks to indirectly link Muhammadu Buhari and his family to a crime allegedly committed by someone unknown to him and his family just for the fact that the said suspect bears the name “Mohammed Buhari”.
