Lekan Adetayo, the Punch Newspaper State House Correspondent, has been recalled. This was made known in a series of tweets from the office of the SSA Media and Publicity to President Buhari Mallam Garba Shehu.

Shehu said 'Lekan should be assured that he is safe. We will straighten out everything. The Special Adviser on Media, Femi Adesina and I will resolve the issues'. President Muhammadu Buhari’s media team said on Monday that they were not consulted before a journalist was expellled from the presidential villa.


Bashir Abubakar, the Chief Security Officer, CSO, to President Muhammadu Buhari expelled the correspondent of Punch Newspapers, Lekan Adetayo, from the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

Mr. Adetayo, who confirmed the expulsion to Newsnow Nigeria on Monday said it was because of a story about Mr. Buhari’s ill health published by his newspaper on Sunday. The Punch reported that the reporter was summoned by Mr. Abubakar to explain two of his recent stories from the State House.

“He referred to the lead story of SUNDAY PUNCH of April 23, 2017, titled “Fresh anxiety in Aso Rock over Buhari’s poor health” and queried the motive behind it

“He also referred to our corespondent’s column, Aso Rock Lens, published on Saturday, April 22, 2017, and titled “Seat of power’s event centres going into extinction,” The Punch stated in a report Monday evening.

The News Agency of Nigeria said in a dispatch from the State House that Mr. Adetayo was grilled for 45 minutes. But President Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina, has said his office wasn’t consulted before the expulsion.

this what I call responsive and responsible act by the presidency , but hey! why are things happening without 'its' knowledge recently??/

The commotion continues, they act before they think...


In a sane country the CSO, would have been fired immediately if truly he acted alone without the knowledge of the powers that be...


They keep making a mockery of the "presidency" with every of their dumb moves...SMH

Country of monkeys and baboons

Lol

The power of social media

And what did they do to the CSO?

Maybe he's among the aso rock cabal, they've pocketed buhari, they keep doing whatever they like

Confusion everyday
