The United States government says it has no information on the alleged crimes committed by President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha.

The acting Public Affairs Officer, US Consulate General, Lagos, Frank Sellin, said this in an email sent to our correspondent on Tuesday.

Sellin said this in response to an enquiry made by our correspondent regarding allegations that the President’s wife was wanted in the US and was avoiding travelling to the country.

In a message, Sellin said, “Thank you for the inquiry. We have no information to provide on this matter.”

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, had, last month, alleged that Mrs. Buhari was involved in the $185m Halliburton scandal.

While reacting to the freezing of his Zenith Bank accounts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Fayose claimed that the wife of the President was a wanted person in the US.

He had said, “Even the President cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted in the Halliburton scandal. When that American, Jefferson, was being sentenced, the President’s wife was mentioned as having wired $170,000 to Jefferson. Her name was on page 25 of the sentencing of Jefferson. We can serialise the judgment for people to see and read.”

Fayose repeated the claim in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi. He said Aisha refused to travel with the President to the US because of her involvement in the scandal.

That's a vague answer and it doesn't exonerate Aishaliburton

Punch is such a disgrace. The consulate general said, "Thank you for the inquiry. We have no information to provide on this matter"

So? Did they tell you that it is a lie? They never debunked it. Is this what Punch has turned journalism into? What a shame!

Thanks, at least someone understands English.
No information on this matter means a lot of things, like it's before a court of law and we can't comment or the FBI is still working on the case, etc

[s]Next time kid, you justpost your comment and leave. This character of yours will only spoil your life.[/s]

A word they say...

cjrane:


let the FBI come out and say the Aisha Buhari in their report isn't Aisha Buhari.
Or better still, let her go to America. Nigerians will picket the FBI ans alerted on her presence. Unless she uses a diplomatic passport.

Samtob90:
Hope this clears the doubt in the mind of those who want to burry Aisha alive

vedaxcool:
[s]It is clear that only people with significantly depleted brain cells will actually for a second believe AB is invovled in such scandal. It is merely a beer parlor gossip created by a tout aided by irresponsible media and cheered by malicious wailing zombies. A kpomo cutting tout who can barely add figures properly or even know what middle school is now the spiritual guide for debased liars and sectional idiats who suffer Electoral Defeat Induced Depression (E[/s]DID).
