A SaharaReporters investigation into criminal activity in the United States by one Aisha Buhari confirms that the perpetrator is not the First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari.

SaharaReporters began its latest investigation following the circulation of reports that Mrs. Buhari—wife of President Muhammadu Buhari—was involved in a bribe scheme in 2002 in which she wired the sum of $170,000 to disgraced former US Congressman William Jefferson.

The current hysteria around allegations that Mrs. Buhari was involved in this fraudulent transaction as retaliation from the embattled Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, who had some of his Zenith bank accounts frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Mr. Fayose, who is prone to public outbursts, has been at the center of several high-profile scandals including the Ekitigate scandal in which he faces allegations of using money from the Office of the National Security Adviser to rig the gubernatorial election in 2014. Following the freezing of his bank accounts earlier this week, Mr. Fayose resumed attacking President Buhari and his wife, accusing them of corruption. He has also reportedly been sponsoring fabricated stories connecting the First Lady Aisha Buhari to the William Jefferson scandal.

The genesis of the allegations linking the current First Lady with the $170,000 transaction has arisen from a sentencing memorandum concerning Mr. Jefferson, who was convicted of corruption in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. In the memorandum, “Aisha Buhari” appears once, on page 22, stating that the money was transferred to Mr. Jefferson from a Nigerian bank account in her name.

New York Times reporter Barry Meier published an elaborate report in 2007 titled “Teed Up: Golf, K Street and Nigeria” which prominently featured Mr. Jefferson, “Aisha Buhari,” and the former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Victor Attah.

Mr. Meier wrote at the time of “an unlikely cast of characters” seeking “a multimillion-dollar public spending spree initiated by Mr. Attah, an ambitious politician who wanted to be Nigeria’s next president.”

According to the account, middle-aged Aisha Buhari entered into the story when, by happenstance, she entered a non-descript Washington DC-based pharmacy and began chatting with a security guard. During that conversation, she allegedly told him that she was the daughter of the former military ruler, General Muhammadu Buhari. Following that conversation, the security guard later introduced Aisha Buhari to DC-based lobbyist Richard Hines.

The assembling of these personalities, more than ten years ago, laid the foundation for the criminal activity that followed.

SaharaReporters could not ascertain when or how the tale of Aisha Buhari evolved from a US-based woman claiming to be the daughter of former General Muhammadu Buhari to the Aisha Buhari, who is married to present-day President Buhari.

However, SaharaReporters investigation into the events around the illegal financial transactions involving an Aisha Buhari and any connection with the First Lady of Nigeria led our investigators to multiple sets of court records in Virginia courts.

SaharaReporters found no fewer than six legal cases involving an Aisha Buhari in the Fairfax County General District Court. The earliest date of these cases in the registry is October 19, 2012, with the most recent heard on March 31, 2016. Most of these cases involve debts or wage garnishment.

Also notable is that one case, which was heard on December 3, 2015, was appealed by a defendant named Aisha M. Buhari at a time that Nigeria First Lady Aisha Buhari was clearly in Nigeria. This is in addition to a pattern of alleged civil and criminal cases against an Aisha Buhari following the incidents reported by the New York Times in the mid-2000s—a time when now First Lady Aisha Buhari was living in Nigeria.

SaharaReporters investigation found that there is another Aisha Buhari, living in the Virginia area: the same Aisha Buhari who claimed to be President Buhari’s daughter but who actually has no relationship with him.

During the course of our investigation, we found that a property was sold on June 27, 2014 by Aisha Buhari to one Chiagozia Agbarakwe for $380,000. Evidence shows that that Aisha Buhari purchased the property in 2013 for the sum of $335,000, putting her in Fairfax County, Virginia, during that period.

In addition to court evidence, property records, and a list of known addresses belonging to an Aisha Buhari living in the United States, the New York Times in 2007 photographed the Aisha Buhari, who claimed to be the daughter of then General Muhammadu Buhari.

SaharaReporters has also obtained a copy of Aisha Buhari’s Nigerian International Passport, which shares the same profile as the photograph published in the New York Times, but she clearly looks nothing like the First Lady Aisha Buhari.

SaharaReporters contacted many of the aggrieved individuals who filed legal cases against Aisha Buhari, or their legal counsel, but none wanted to go on record due to the sensitive nature of their legal proceedings. Several of them did, however, confirm that Aisha Buhari was in the United States during the time her alleged activity took place.

Even this information would still not suffice to awake a man pretending to be asleep.

TL:DR
There are more than one Aisha Buharis in the world at least one of which is a scammer.

K....fayose the pomo cutter,what do you have to say?

Some thing have noticed about sahara reporters so far is that :

They are behind this gov.
They never speak on the economic crisis
Investigating the enemy of the present government
They never find any dark spot in this gov. It seem they have been given brown envelopes

Only a fool can believe Ayo Fayose words.

Who is fooling who

Amazing clarification.

Aisha Buhari is a girlfriend of Attah Victor of Akwa Ibom.

Zombies eating dia share of the money

Ok nah

Report accepted !! Fayose must apologise

Fayose knows the truth he is just being adamant, they should just sue him

FAKE PASSPORT. LET AISHA BUHARI TRAVEL TO USA IF SHE THINKS SHE IS INNOCENT. FROM FAKE WAEC CERTIFICATE TO FAKE NIGERIAN PASSPORT. WHERE IS EFCC AND DSS, U GUYZ SHOULD GO AND ARREST THE PERSON IN THE PASSPORT

This is conclusive evidence in my opinion.

1. It is clear that there is an Aisha Buhari who lives in Virginia that was tied to the case. Sahara reporters did a good job of getting her records.

2. There are courts cases involving Aisha Buhari in virginia and records showing her, selling a property.

3. Ribadu and the Lamorde have already mentioned same.

This Aisha M Buhari had a case in court in 2016... She has been sued multiple times. This is obviously someone that has been in trouble with the law many times. Mostly to do with owing people money..

But then again, wailers will still wail..

The BIG question waiting for answer is WHY HAS AISHA M BUHARI, President wife avoided stepping into the US. This other Aisha Buhari lives in US and FBI have NEVER interrogated her, yet have asked EFCC to investigate the owner of Citizens International Bank Account domiciled in Nigeria. If this Aisha is the culprit, and she lived in US with Jefferson why would she be making transfers from Nigeria instead of simply delivering cash to avoid trace?
Tell this Co,ck and Bull stories to the gullible.

The other Aisha, is also Aisha M Buhari, most likely an identity thief... This thing is as clear as daylight.. Her court records show that she has been in trouble with the law numerous times... How do you know who the FBI has investigated..

What do you even mean by "avoiding stepping in the US"?

Let her travel to America to proof fayose wrong now.

Your requests are not complete.

Infact why has she not travelled to India, Germany, China, Kenya, UK, South Africa and other countries buhari has gone since he became president.

Your wailing over this matter has just begun

And again

Fayose's mouth puts him in more trouble


I bet the first lady's spokesperson or the first family will sue Fayose for Libel and slander

Their matter is tiring

Imagine nincompoops ordering Aisha to go to the US to help them make sense of the nonsense Ponmodele Ponmoyose(apologies to Aareonakakanfo) has stuffed their brains with

Seun needs the immediate purge of these hateful returdds on nairaland , despite everything that's being said and done , some people are still talking trash , apparently , most of them just visited , passed through school. but education did not go through them , this is a serious case of identity theft , and Aisha Buhari is the target ,

I mean for some tribes it is complimentary to share your husband's middle name and last name, But i do not think that's the fulani way

This same tribe , when or if the lady wants, she would rather keep her own surname as her middle name and take husband's last name


But this case Aisha M Buhari Buhari's name with an "A" i do not think fulanis do that at all

Does anyone know the meaning of warrant in debt ?? It means the Aisha Buhari being prosecuted owes someone in USA some money

Does any wailer know the meaning of Garnishment ?? Wage garnishment, the most common type of garnishment, is the process of deducting money from an employee's monetary compensation (including salary), sometimes as a result of a court order. Wage garnishments continue until the entire debt is paid or arrangements are made to pay off the debt. So if we follow wailer's Logics , President Buhari's wife is still recieving wages or salary from US government as at 2016 , These same set of people who said Aisha has never been outside the country ??

Following wailer's sense again, Aisha Buhari was in USA in 2014/2015 to appeal a case on her own behalf ??

You people should get a life abeg , and i mean it , if i were the mods anyone who says rubbish about the president or his wife despite all these proofs of blackmail from fayose's end will be banned and their email released to DSS as enemies of state

Abegi!! Aisha Buhari should just travel to the US and come back let us see

[size=28pt]Many people bear the same name in Africa[/size].

And this is were integrity and sincerity of nairaland mods shud be put to test:u see pple verbaly insulting d president witout bein banned bt as soon as u critize any mod or insult anyone they ban u.i was actualy contemplating creating a new thread titled "The hypocracy of nairaland mods"bt am stil observing if things wil continue this way.u can choose to ban me and u shud kno creating multiple account is neva a big deal

We need more facts from our media houses. The media can help unmask the Aisha in this scandal through investigative journalism. Sahara reporters have done a decent job, but this has not laid the matter to rest. We need to know why she choice to impersonate Buhari's wife and not other former First Ladies. We also need to know if there is any truth in the alleged refusal of the First Lady to travel to the US since the scandal became public, and other ancillary details...The media owes Nigerians an independent verification of "facts" being peddled about.

I really don't know why some people are trying so hard to convince people that just want to see Buhari's name and his family mention in corruption cases just to ruin his reputation.Fayose and his likes can try harder.

The same Fayose that maligned PMP during the last electioneering campaign but forgot to mentioned this case and some people are taken him seriously.The same people that believe PMB was smuggled into Nigeria even when they saw the man matching in the presidential wing of the airport in National TVs. Some people still think PMB is being cloned even when they see him performing his duty everyday.

These people will stop at nothing,they just want to see PMB dead period.

My question is
this woman claimed to be the daughter of PMB in early 2000. since when has this woman got married to the president? was it 2000 try to do simple analysis please
