Insecurity: Aisha Buhari leaves her husband, relocates to Dubai

The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, has reportedly left her husband  in  Aso Villa and moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, since September after her daughter, Hanan, tied the knot with her lover, SaharaReporters claims.

A further report disclosed that the President’s wife does not have a plan to return back to the country anytime soon despite spending over three months outside the Nation.

Aisha Buhari had reportedly claimed that her reason for travelling out of the country is because her family is not secure in the Aso Rock Villa.

The claim of President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife was triggered by the shooting incident which occurred in June and caused some panic among occupants of the Aso Villa.

Recall that there was a crisis in the Aso Villa after security details of the President’s wife removed Buhari’s Personal Assistant, Sabiu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf, from the place after he refused to embark on a 14-day isolation period after returning from a trip to Lagos.

The First Lady’s ADC, Usman Shugaba, in an attempt to apprehend Yusuf, reportedly fired gunshots but the President’s aide escaped to the residence of Mamman Daura.

President Buhari thereafter ordered an investigation into the alleged security breach inside the Presidential Villa.

It will be recalled that on September 4, Aisha Buhari held a flamboyant wedding for President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, Hanan, and Mohammed Turad.

Apart from the opulence on display, event planners for the wedding were flown in from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to add colour and spice to the ceremony.

Earlier in August, the First Lady had also flown to Dubai in a private jet owned by billionaire Mohammed Indimi under the guise of a medical emergency to shop for luxury items ahead of the wedding.

Most of the items, including souvenirs used for the wedding occasion, were brought in from the Arabian country.

A source which spoke with SaharaReporters on Tuesday disclosed that the First Lady has now relocated to the UAE for over three months and no one has information on when she would return.

The Presidency source said, “Aisha Buhari has relocated quietly to Dubai. She has been going to the UAE even before the daughter’s wedding.

“Before the wedding, she also stayed there for months during lockdown, shopping and relaxing. But since the end of the wedding, she has been away owing to security concerns in the villa.”

Some Nigerians have noticed her disappearance from the public space for the past three months. Checks on her Twitter page shows she last tweeted in October.

SaharaReporters gathered that occasionally, she issued statements announcing the distribution of palliatives but has never been seen at any official functions.

The September wedding, which had security personnel prohibiting guests from taking photographs, saw the event planners and other vendors flown in from Dubai pocketing huge amounts in United States dollars for their services.
