The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, on Friday asked Police Inspector-General Mohammed Adamu to release her staff who are in police detention. But a presidential source told The Guardian that the arrest was as a result of heated arguments between a personal staff of the President Sabiu Yusuf, President Buhari’s nephew, and the First Lady. Adamu, after receiving a security report on the incident on Friday, ordered the arrest of the all the security aides that were involved. No matter the provocation, you’re not meant to pull a trigger in the Villa,” the source told The Guardian. Police spokesman Frank Mba did not immediately respond to questions about the detention of the First Lady’s aides on Saturday morning.
