 Afaka
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari's driver is dead.
Master Warrant Officer Saidu Afaka before his death was the official driver of President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Sahara Reporters, he was recently detained by the
Department of State Services after tricking his principal to sign a
fraudulent document to make millions of naira is dead.
A statement by Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said Afaka died
at the State House Clinic on Tuesday after a prolonged illness.
Buhari extends heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased.
The statement read, “President Muhammadu Buhari extends
heartfelt condolences to the family of Afaka on the passing of Master
Warrant Officer, Sa’idu Afaka, his official driver, who died at the
State House Clinic on Tuesday after a prolonged illness.
“President Buhari, who also commiserates with the Government
and people of Kaduna State, described the late Afaka as an honest,
capable and reliable person who handled his job with utmost care and
responsibility.
“The President recalls that in 2016 the soldier, while on
pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, picked up a bag containing a large amount of
foreign currencies and turned it over to the National Hajj Commission,
an action which earned him praises from the Saudi and Nigerian
authorities.
“President Buhari prays Almighty Allah to 'bless the soul of
the departed with an elevated place in heavens,’ committing the family
and friends to divine comfort and patience.”
Afaka’s death is coming few days after SaharaReporters exposed how
he capitalised on Buhari dementia to trick him to sign a fraudulent
document to make millions of naira. See Also Exclusive How Buhari's
Driver Was Detained By DSS For Tricking President To Sign Fraudulent
Multi-million Naira Deal Document 0 Comments 1 Week Ago
It was learnt that the whole affair was however hushed up by the Presidency, which did not want another scandal in the press.
"The fraud was perpetrated some weeks ago but it was kind of hushed up so that it would not leak to the press," the source said.
SaharaReporters further gathered that it is generally known in the
President's circle and among his cabinet members that Buhari has been
showing some symptoms such as forgetfulness, limited social skills and
impaired thinking abilities.
Therefore, he does not go through the rigours of reading reports or properly vetting documents as required of his office.
It was learnt that the President's former Aide De Camp, who
recently left, reported the deal to the DSS as he was not carried along
in the deal.
"The driver made the President to sign a fraudulent document.
The man is the main driver of the President. He got the President to
sign a document from which he made millions of naira, capitalising on
Buhari’s dementia.
"He was subsequently arrested by the DSS and detained for
several days. The ADC to the President who recently left reported the
deal to the DSS after finding out that he was sidestepped in the deal," the source added.
Ironically, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) in
2017 promised to reward Afaka, who had reportedly returned some lost
items during the 2016 Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
NAHCON said Afaka found and returned to the commission a bag
containing 400 dollars, N60,370 and 149 Saudi Riyals and a cell phone
belonging to Adamu Umar, a Niger State pilgrim.
However, this is not the first time a scandal such as this would be
experienced in Aso Villa. A similar scandal was experienced in Aso
Villa in 2018 when the First Lady, Aisha, ensured the arrest of her Aide
De Camp, whom she accused of defrauding her.
She had alleged that Sani Baba-Inna, a chief superintendent of
police, received huge donations to the tune of N2. 5 billion from
politicians and business people on her behalf and then kept the cash to
himself.
Following her allegation, the then Inspector-General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris, ordered the arrest of Baba-Inna and compelled him to
return the money.
Eventually, the police could not establish that Baba-Inna committed
the crime and an angry Aisha asked the DSS to take over the case,
believing the police authorities were trying to protect one of their
own.
