A nephew of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua,  Akilu Musa Yar’adua, aged 18,  was expelled by the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, over his alleged   involvement in drug-related offences.
Akilu, son of  late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, elder brother to the President, who was Chief of Staff Supreme Headquarters during General Olusegun Obasanjo’s military administration from 1976 to 1979, was one of the 10 students  expelled by the elite institution over various offences.

Speaking at the orientation organised for new batch of intakes of about 300 students,  weekend,  Dean of Students Affairs, Dr. David Kosoko, said the institution has zero tolerance for all vices within and outside its campus and charged the new intakes to strictly conform with the institution's rules and regulations.
He said authorities of the school would not hesitate to show any deviant student the way out, no matter how privileged the family might be.

Kosoko said 10 students were expelled for various offences, out of which six were expelled over drugs, and four over laptop thefts, adding that four others were suspended for various infractions against the school regulations.

He said a disciplinary committee of the university had to invite the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), to test the students involved and ascertain their levels of involvement in drug usage. Kosoko, who declined to mention the type and quantity of the illicit drugs found with the students, said an almost foolproof system of checking vices such as drugs and cultism have been put in place by the institution to check their students and call on other tertiary institutions in the country to come and learn from AUN, Yola.

Drugs?
. . .Maybe state coffers are now too small for the Yar Adua's.

Its possible that the lad wasn't distributing, but sniffing. Whichever way, it is a wretched picture to present of the presidents family.

Why are you surprised now? the president is an ordinary human being now. 70% (rough guess) of families in Nigeria have one or two bad eggs, but I pity the present generation of teenagers (Nigeria's future) because drug addiction is killing them.
