Sani Baba-Inna, aide-de-camp of the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, is presently in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
He is being detained following allegations of N2.5 billion fraud.
Peter Afunnaya, spokesperson of the DSS, confirmed the development, according to The Nation.
Aisha Buhari is said to have alleged that the ADC had received huge donations from politicians and business people, yet kept the money to himself.
The Inspector General of Police has also been asked to arrest and subsequently detain Baba-Inna, and force him to refund the said amount.
However, the outcome of the raid and checks on his bank account showed that money of such magnitude was not in those locations.
Not satisfied, Mrs. Buhari asked the SSS to take over the investigation.
The spokesperson of the service, Peter Afunanya, had told newsmen that he was not aware of the arrest but would revert once he received information on the matter.
Mr Afunanya kept his words and called us this afternoon to confirm that Mr Baba-Inna was in custody at the headquarters of his agency in Abuja.
“He was handed over by the Police and investigation is ongoing,” he said.
A member of the Baba-Inna family also informed us that the SSS allowed Hassana, the wife of the ADC to meet him today.
