Sabiu Tunde Yusuf, the nephew of former President Muhammadu Buhari is currently not in the United Kingdom as erroneously believed.
Credible sources informed QUEST TIMES on Monday that Tunde, who served as Personal Secretary to Buhari is currently hiding in Daura, Katsina, the former president’s home town.
It will be recalled that the Special Investigator on the Central Bank of Nigeria and Related Entities, Jim Obazee, in his report had indicated that the naira redesign which was executed by the Central Bank of Nigeria under the former governor, Godwin Emefiele was approved by Sabiu Tunde and not Buhari.
The investigator’s final report tagged, ‘Report of the Special Investigation on CBN and Related Entities (Chargeable Offences) was submitted to President Bola Tinubu last week.
Emefiele had on Sunday denied the allegations of financial impropriety leveled against him in the report, saying he has instructed his lawyers to clear his name.
Tunde Sabiu on his part has not uttered any word since the details of the report was leaked.
Speaking with our correspondent, a source close to the former president said Tunde is currently in Daura.
He also said it may be very difficult for security agencies to interrogate or arrest him since he is under the protection of the former president.
” Sabiu is not in UK. He is currently in Daura as we speak. the source said.
“He may not be interrogated because if he speaks, it will further worsen the anger some people have against Buhari on the handling of the economy”.
