The power tussle in the Presidential Villa between First Lady Aisha Buhari and Sabiu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf, the President’s influential Personal Assistant and favourite nephew, has taken a dangerous turn that could undermine security at the Presidential Villa, with the President’s top security aides’ loyalty split between the opposing camps.

The Villa was thrown into confusion, Thursday night, when the First Lady accompanied by her children – Zahra, Halima and Yusuf, – took a team of policemen led by her Aide-De-Camp to forcefully confront Tunde following an earlier heated disagreement over his refusal to self-isolate after his trip to Lagos to see his wife, who had just given birth to a boy.

Sources familiar with the event said on reaching the House 8 Guest Chalet of the President, where Tunde resides with his family, there was an altercation between him and Mrs. Buhari, her children and her security aides that eventually snowballed into a near fatal brawl.

*** Our sources said Tunde, who appeared helpless and clearly outnumbered had to flee on foot.


“This was when Mrs. Buhari’s ADC and four members of her police escort fired some shots into the air as they pursued him. He had been seriously wounded at this time but successfully made it to the residence of Mamman Daura where he would shelter for the night,” a source in the Presidential villa told THEWILL.

The source said the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Adamu, following a briefing on the horrific incident arrived the Presidential Villa Friday morning and ordered Mrs. Buhari’s ADC and all the police personnel attached her who took part in the altercation and shooting arrested and detained.

Narrating the ugly incident to THEWILL, the source at the Villa, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “Let me explain what is really going on so that your journal and your readers can truly understand what is happening in the Villa now, the dynamics and 2023 presidential politics.

“Since Mallam Abba Kyari died, the First Lady has been trying to kick the President’s Personal Assistant who is also his nephew, Tunde (The president named him Tunde in honour of the late Tunde Idiagbon, his former deputy when he was military head of state) out of the Villa so that she can effectively wield full influence over him (The President).

“She believes Tunde and the President’s other relatives are blocking her from having full control of her husband and power in the Villa. But it is obvious that the President does not want this because he has encouraged Tunde to continue with his job.

“Tunde’s wife just delivered a boy in Lagos. So, he got the President’s approval to fly to Lagos to see her with his two sisters last weekend. He returned to Abuja last Sunday and returned to work on Monday. He was however asked to self-isolate for 14-days because of the coronavirus pandemic by the Chief Personal Security Officer to the President, Abdulkarim Dauda and the President’s Aide-De-Camp, Mohammed Abubakar, but he told them that the President said he shouldn’t.

“On Thursday, when the First Lady heard that he was still coming to work, she asked him to self-isolate but he told her that the President said he didn’t have to. Her insistence led to a heated verbal exchange between them and the President was later informed about this. The President however took sides with Tunde and didn’t see any reason why he should self-isolate at all. He said Zahra and Halima (Buhari’s daughters) left the villa to visit their in-laws when Halima’s husband’s uncle died recently and they didn’t self-isolate on their return. He also pointed to the fact that when his new Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, went to Lagos too, he didn’t self-isolate on his return, so he didn’t see any reason why Tunde should. So, he overruled her.

“What happened on Thursday night is a big embarrassment. The First Lady and three of her children – Zahra, Halima and Yusuf – took some policemen attached to her, including her ADC to Tunde’s house. They didn’t like the way Tunde spoke to their mother, so they actually went there to fight him. During their confrontation with him, he was overpowered and clearly could not withstand their number, so he ran for his dear life.

“It was as he was running and they were chasing him that they shot a few times into the air. They chased him to the house of his uncle, Mamman Daura. Of course, they couldn’t enter Mamman’s residence to get Tunde but they shouted and made a lot of threats before they eventually left.

“Do you know that Yusuf later went back to Tunde’s house in the wee hours of the morning with a gas tank to burn it down? Thank God Tunde wasn’t home when he got there. That was what saved his life.

“The DSS is responsible for the security at the villa. Gunshots were fired at the villa and the DSS, that is responsible for security, has not detained the shooters? No one has been questioned. This is even a dangerous precedence for visitors to the villa, including Ministers and top government functionaries.

“This would send a wrong and scary signal. You can be shot at or brutally attacked in the Presidential Villa at the First Lady’s orders if you do go against her. This is not how it should be!

“You see, Nasir El-rufai and Lamido Sanusi are the ones using the First Lady to heat up things in the villa since Abba Kyari died because of their interest in the 2023 presidential election. This is what is escalating this whole new fight for full access to the president. She already has the Chief of Staff on her side so she doesn’t want Tunde giving the President contrary views and advise. She wants everyone against her out of the villa but that is not going to happen.”

E don happen. Look at what Almajiri has turned a supposed place of edifice into. Janjaweedism at it's peak. It's either Buhari is truly dead as Nnamdi Kanu has been shouting or he is too weak to stamp his authority in d Villa. One thing is now very clear and that is in support of Wole Soyinka that Buhari that was voted into office is not in charge. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/06/13/gunshots-in-presidency-as-aisha-buhari-moves-against-presidents-aide-adc-arrested. After reading d Thisday version, one can conclude dat there is something really fishy and suspicious going on in Aso Rock. Only time will tell

Wow

Chai, they are not even afraid of bullet straying to PMB.

ha! thank God o, that would have been a costly drama.

Trouble in paradise.

We are watching... Behind the scenes

What nonsense is this? what sort of damage control and lawlessness and rubbish is this? How can all this happen under Buhari's nose?......NOOOO There's no Buhari i think i have to believe Nnamdi Kanu on this one

And where is Osibanjo in all this?

I miss Abba Kyari now aswear

So our president is a dumbo that anyone can just tossed around as they like? No wonder both Tunde and Aish were fighting over who will have access to buhari, because they knew whoever have access to him have the remote control. Buhari is a disaster that no nation on Earth should pray for his type as her president!

LIFELESS ADMINISTRATION

Buhari is a dead man.

if president Abba kyari were to be alive Buhari and his families would have been detained for their overzealousness against the non elected president of Nigeria



@ we celebrate our darling mommy for taking his children to the warfront to fight the enemy of the state


thanks to our darling daddy for playing neutral in this scenario. this is to tell you our darling daddy doesn't put mouth in other people's business


Buhari brain had been damaged by Abba kyari thinking he would be able to manipulate him to contest in 2023. Nigerians most esp southern Nigerians are sitting on time bomb if we continue keeping silent in this show of shame. i



if this people can't respect and stay safe, how can they safe 180million Nigerians?

Confusion in the enemies' camp.

Fake News!

The rich also cry!

fake news abeg wetin you gain now op

Do you know the meaning of libel?

Your device, network and location can be traced even if you use a VPN.

So this is the propaganda Aisha and her crew in aso rock want to use to cover the disqualification of obaseki from APC primary and the useless recording speech they gave to us for June 12.

Shame on them..*spits*

Shots fired

Hmm

imagine say na Patience Jonathan, tunde dey try like this . The three facts i noticed in this report are;
i. The person snitching out the information is a tunde's loyalist.
ii. Yusuf Buhari dey fall my hands as a first son to the president, you couldnt try this with Saddam Hussein's son( Uday Hussein) or any of Gaddafi's boys.
iii. "He said Zahra and Halima (Buhari’s daughters) left the villa to visit their in-laws when Halima’s husband’s uncle died recently and they didn’t self-isolate on their return." If buhari actually made this statement then Nigeria is truly finished.

Well crafted fiction But we would only realize the damage this regime has caused in 5 years time

Looking for issues where there's none

Aisha is a power drunk witch

Those outside dey burn villages and those inside villa want to burn house.....e dey DNA?

APC has reduced a once respected country to Fuji house of commotion

Ok.. my concern is this portion. The North by 2023 would have completed their 8 years, why are these ones interested in the 2023 presidential election?

President Buhari is terribly shocked at the invents playing out in Aso rock.
Infact I saw shock all over his face and I was also shocked at how shocked he was.
If not because of how shocked we Nigerians were when we had the sad invents in the villa,we would have mobilise the shock crew from all local government across the country.but as you can see even the local government chairmen are even shock to make any move.
