Gen. Buhari Disclaims ‘419 Buhari’…Screams ‘He is not my Adopted Son’

WONDERS shall never end in life. The arrest of Mohammed Buhari, a swindler erroneously regarded by a segment of the media as ‘adopted son’ of General Muhammadu Buhari, a former Head of State in Nigeria is intensely heating up the nation’s polity, going by the accusation and counter-accusations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the swindler and the erstwhile Head of State.

Gen. Buhari Disclaims ‘419 Buhari’

After the arrest of ‘Buhari’ the swindler, EFCC had in frenzy hit the press with statement on the arrest of another 419ner, notoriously called ‘Advance Fee Fraud’ in Nigerian parlance. The news had not stopped running that the arrested criminal is allegedly an ‘adopted son’ of General Buhari. The ‘no-nonsense former Nigerian President’ screamed that the arrested ‘Buhari’ is never his adopted son. His words: “It is regrettable to note that after several unsuccessful attempts to smear the hard earned respect, popularity, dignity, and enviable image of Muhammadu Buhari, mischief makers have resorted to a laughable tactic of linking Muhammadu Buhari to a crime just because someone who has been alleged to have committed a crime somewhere bears the name ‘Buhari’.
“Muhammadu Buhari wishes to state categorically that he does not have any adopted son called ‘Mohammed Buhari’ and had no need to adopt a son at any time having been blessed with choice children, both male and females.  Muhammadu Buhari and his family do not know the said “Mohammed Buhari” who is alleged to be involved in a #20M scam and is being held by EFCC.

General Buhari is blessed with descent children

Going by a press statement he released to the media to clear his name and reputation, General Buhari said “Muhammadu Buhari is blessed with very descent and disciplined children who obviously took after their father. His children have no single record of stealing and an inordinate behavior anywhere in the world. They do not seek attention, but have proven the stuff their father is made of any time their character is put to test.
However, this is understandable, since the entire attempts by mischief makers to discredit Muhammadu Buhari as an individual has failed. We frown at these poorly articulated gimmicks to indirectly link Muhammadu Buhari and his family to a crime allegedly committed by someone unknown to him and his family just for the fact that the said suspect bears the name Mohammed Buhari”

‘We are on top of this situation’-EFCC

EFCC in its statement said they are on top of this situation and this matter would be thoroughly investigated, as they plan to ‘leave no stone unturned’.  For the records, one Mohammed Buhari was arrested by operatives of the EFCC, over an alleged N20 (Twenty Million Naira only) fraud.

The suspect, Mohammed Buhari, was arrested over a transaction that has the trappings of voodoo investment scheme. He allegedly obtained N20 million from one Mrs Florence Nwokocha, purportedly to invest in a lucrative oil and gas business with promises of mouth watery returns to the investor. Buhari was allegedly introduced to the lady by his account officer at Ecobank Plc and he agreed to pay Nwokocha, 30 percent annual interest on the sum.
