Extortion: DSS releases Aisha Buhari’s ADC to police
The Department of State Services has released the Aide de Camp of the First Lady, CSP Sani Mohammed Baba-Inna, to police authorities for “further administrative action.”
Baba-Inna has been in the DSS custody since September 22, 2018.
He was handed over to the DSS for investigations following allegations that he was using the first lady’s name to collect “gifts” and extort money from unnamed sources.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the DSS, Peter Afunnaya, in Abuja, on Wednesday.
The statement partly read “The Department of State Services wishes to inform the public that it has released Sani Mohammed Baba-Inna (CSP), ADC to the First Lady and Wife of the President, Hajiya Aisha Buhari.
He has been handed over to the Police for further administrative action.
“Recall that BABA-INNA was, on the 22nd of September, 2018, handed over to the Service by the Police authorities for detailed investigations.
“He had been accused of defamation of character and unduly using his Office and that of the First Lady to fraudulently extort and obtain money from sources.
“He was alleged to have carried out the illegal and other unethical activities in the name of the First Lady on whose behalf he falsely claimed to have acted.
“Investigation, however, disclosed that he was never, at any given time or circumstance, directly or indirectly, instructed, by the First Lady, to act or collect, in her name, money or material gifts from any person(s) or group(s).
“In line with standard procedures expected in handling a matter of this nature, BABA-INNA is returned to the Police for appropriate
“Regimental action. Accordingly, the details of the investigation report have also been forwarded to the relevant authorities.”
