Aso Rock Fracas: Buhari To Sack Top Security Aides Over Alleged Threat To Cabal

By Adekunle Badmus

President Muhammadu Buhari deeply angered by the embarrassing situation at the Presidency is set to fire his security details and top aides for the roles they all played in dragging the Presidency into the mud.

The President according according to information is set to fire his Chief Security Officer, Kassim Idrissa, his ADC, Col. Mohammed Lawal Abubakar, his Chief Personal Secuirty Officer, Abdulkareem Dauda, whom Yusuf, a son to Buhari’s niece, claimed to be threats to his life.

It was gathered that President Buhari decided to take the step after Daura, one of his closest confidants, was seen weeping as he made his way to his office.

Daura was said to have informed Buhari that his security aides were not only after Yusuf’s life but his own as well.

Outraged upon hearing this, Buhari gave the nod for all persons involved in the alleged threat to the lives of the two men to be removed.

However, Daura managed to save the ‘head’ of his son-in-law, Abdul Muktar, who works as Senior Special Assistant to the President in the office of the Chief of Staff.

Sources revealed that the latest move by the President may further escalate tension in Aso Villa as Aisha already sees the move by her husband as a way to placate Daura and other members of the ‘cabal’ she feels are manipulating and turning Buhari against his immediate family.

The First Lady, it was gathered, is doing all she can to have Yusuf fired and other perceived ‘enemies’ removed from the Villa.

At the moment, the fate of Yusuf is not known as it was gathered that he may have fallen out of reckoning with the President for his role in the entire saga that has brought ridicule to Nigeria’s Presidency in recent days.

It will be recalled Yusuf refused to isolate after a visit to Lagos and Mrs Buhari’s ADC who tried to stop him from entering Aso Rock was arrested and relieved of his duties with the First Lady.
