President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered Nigeria’s security agents to
arrest his brother-in-law for allegedly extorting money from an unnamed
businessman, a close confidante of the Nigerian leader said. He said the suspect, named Musa Yola, was the immediate
younger brother of Mr. Buhari’s wife.

The source disclosed that the suspect, also addressed as “Alhaji Yola,”
reportedly received N300 million from a businessman after promising to
provide him with political access to secure an oil block from the
Buhari administration. According to the source, Mr. Buhari personally
ordered last Monday night that Mr. Yola be produced before him in
handcuffs in the company of the businessman he duped.
After telling the businessman that he was silly to part with such significant cash when he should know that he, Mr. Buhari, would not participate in fraud, the president ordered agents of the State Security Services (SSS) attached to Aso Rock Villa to thoroughly investigate the scam. He also ordered the SSS operatives to ensure that the businessman recovered his money from his brother-in-law.
An SSS source said, “Alhaji Yola has refunded the money to the affected businessman.” He added: “Alhaji Yola has been released on bail.”
