Shame on premiumtimes

Why not ask the accused to defend herself by going to USA embassy to clear her name,you turn around and suspend your hard working journalist out of fear from Aso rock.

This is what you get when a tyrant is in power.

Any suspect is deemed innocent until proven guilty. It is not Aisha Buhari that should exonerate herself, it is her detractors who should prove her guilt. So far, they have not done so. She has no immunity, why can her detractors not take her to court if they have evidence; instead of perpetually mouthing off on NL?
Aisha is the wife of the so called mr integrity buhari? Has she come out to deny the allegations? The last we heard from her was when she took to twitter to insult fayose.. Stella Oduah was recently accused of keeping some billions in her account, she came out flatly to deny it, the onus is on aisha to deny her involvement in the halliburton scandal and clear her name with USA instead of using her power to victimize the citizens... will you be saying this nonsense if she isn't the first lady? yeye

Escapades ? That's the latest angle ?


However, despite frantic attempts by Premium Times to devolve itself from Ogundipe’s report, no clear evidence exists exonerating Aisha Buhari from the Jefferson scandal. Sources informed about the development told SIGNAL on Monday the US Department of Justice has neither confirmed nor denied that Aisha, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari was the woman mentioned in the Jefferson case.
A text message from SIGNAL to Ogundipe was not replied and subsequent calls to his phone were also not answered at the time of filing this report.


Someone make sure this gets to the First Family , Signal news paper looking for more controversy
For there to be no clear evidence means there are evidences in the first instance.perhaps,we need to ask the right questions to get to the truth of the matter.

Why is the US department of justice not denying her involvement?

Why has Aisha buhari refused to venture into United states territories?

I wonder why we like to complicate simple things!

Premium Times has slammed a three-week suspension on Samuel Ogundipe, a journalist who wrote a story linking Aisha Buhari, wife of Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari to the Williams Jefferson scandal, SIGNAL can exclusively report.
LOL.

She does not have to waste any time denying the allegations. There is no pressure on her to prove her innocence, she is already innocent BY DEFAULT. The onus is on her detractors to prove that she is the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the Halliburton indictment, by getting the relevant information from the US department of Justice. Until then, she REMAINS LEGALLY INNOCENT.

Her being the First Lady has nothing to do with it. The above statement applies to every citizen or resident in Nigeria.

As for your using Oduah as an example, the point is moot. Mrs Buhari is not obliged by any law to emulate Mrs Oduah. She is still innocent until proven guilty.

As for your assertion that she is using her 'powers' to victimize the citizens, as far as we know, she is not on the Board of Premium times, nor does she have any constitutional powers to victimize anyone. The Premium times management realised that publishing unproven allegations against a public figure could lead to legal action, and when their journalist was unable to defend his write up, he was suspended to minimize the damage. As far as Fayose is concerned, she has stated that she will resort to legal means, she is exercising her rights as a citizen, this is not victimization either.

I really fail to see what you are accusing her of here.

Rubbish! You will open your mouth to accuse others of corruption and forget that they are also innocent by default.. Even Dasuki is also innocent by default. Olisah Metuh, Fani Kayode.. Everybody is innocent by default.. But this government is treating them differently than Aisha.. Aisha Halliburton Buhari also innocent by default but let her explain her role in the scandal as a public person... simple.. Buhari is a fraud!

No, I never accused anyone of corruption, unless he/she is indicted in a properly constituted court of law... which NL is not. Everybody is innocent by default until proven otherwise. President Buhari has also not accused anyone, it is the EFCC which is collating evidence and making arrests. Presumably, the evidence is strong enough to enable the EFCC convince the Judiciary to make out warrants for those arrested. It is easy for those who have similar evidence against Mrs Buhari to present their own strong evidence to the EFCC in a petition in order to take action against her. Politely speaking, her detractors should put up or shut up.

Again, she is not obliged to defend herself in the 'court' of public opinion, and it is not a useful activity in any case. There are some unpersuadable sceptics who are not relying on legal procedure or logic to accuse her, but a desire for misplaced vengeance and tribalism. Her denials will just be dismissed outrightly.

Again, if you have proof, present it for all for EFCC, or the courts to study and be convinced that you have a case. This constant rigmaroling between raw speculation and juvenile emotional outrage is getting tiresome.

No one has presented any petitions to the efcc concerning majority of the cases they are trying now.. Infact they have even failed to act on petitions on Amaechi and Fashola and you expect them to act on a petition from Aisha.. I dont want Aisha Halliburton Buhari probed or anything.. I want her to release a press statement explaining her role in the haliburton scandal or visit USA to clear her name.. simple.. If someone calls you a thief, silence means consent

The EFCC may prosecute evidence based on its own investigations or on petitions from concerned parties. As a concerned party, if you feel that you have more pertinent evidence than your dislike for the President and his family, you may draw up a petition.

Petitions submitted on Fashola and Amaechi are presumably not backed by pertinent evidence. The EFCC is on a budget and cannot be expected to go running off on every wild goose chase brought before it. If you want the agency to listen to your petition, present your pertinent evidence.

What you personally want is irrelevant legally. If she wants to take the time or trouble to exonerate herself, she may, but she is under no obligation to do so if she does not feel like, and this does not mean that she is guilty, or that silence is consent to her culpability. You have no case sir.

The only document that can lay this matter to rest are the account opening documents of the originating account for the transfer in citizens bank. I wonder why nobody is saying anything about that. Instead we are making noise about a USA trip. I bet you that she can go to the USA and nothing will happen. It is expected that her accusers can lay theirbhands on the account documentation and transactions for the account or forever hold their peace. After all it is a transfer between financial institutions that is being investigated not a cash transaction

Fayoses account can be frozen and investigated for fraud, but the EFCC has to wait for individuals to lay their hands on back documents before investigating the Halliburton scandal abi?

There's a request for documents the US made, a simple furnishing them with those document will be helpful. If you zombies are truly fighting corruption.

I would only support the sanctioning of the journalist if truly his reports were not true, but if otherwise, he should be given a break abeg.

For a group that claims to always deal with FACTS when prosecuting and persecuting alleged corrupt persons,.. to be neither here nor there with issues of buhari's certificate and Aisha corruption scandal, should give you the true position of things.

If they discovered a fraud, they'll blow it out.

If they had invoices, corrupt funds transfer details, they'll publish it without wasting time.

So if they are not coming out with FACTS about buhari's certificate and Aisha corruption scandal,.. Then the reasons for the constraints is obvious... If buhari had the contentious certificate, he would have published it long ago.. If Aisha is clean with this Halliburton scandal, she would have done everything to prove us wrong..
