The Online Newspaper had on Tuesday exclusively reported
that President Buhari, who was deeply angered by the embarrassing crisis in Aso
Villa, was preparing to fire his security details and some top aides for the
roles they all played in dragging the Presidency into the mud.
It was gathered that President Buhari decided to take the
step after Mamman Daura, his nephew and 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.
Buhari gave the nod for all persons involved in the alleged
threat to the lives of the two men to be removed.
The crisis started with Yusuf’s refusal to embark on a
14-day isolation period after returning to Abuja from a trip to Lagos last
week.
This led to the arrest and eventual redeployment of the Aide
De Camp to Mrs Buhari and other security details attached to her after it was
claimed that they threatened to kill the President’s Assistant in the process
of trying to get him out of the Villa.
Inside sources say the latest step by the President could
further stir the bad blood among different power blocs in Aso Villa, especially
with the First Lady vowing to take a pound of flesh for being embarrassed by
Yusuf and other ‘cabal’ members.
