Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has sued the Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, for alleging that she was one of those indicted for involvement in the Halliburton multi-million dollar scandal.
A Nigerian online medium, Premium Times, reported on Wednesday night, July 20, 2016, that Mrs. Buhari had dragged Fayose to court for maligning her name.
The online newspaper stated that it had obtained the court summons, dated Wednesday, July 20, 2016.
The president’s wife had on many occasions denied involvement in the scam with a threat to sue Fayose if he did not stop dragging her into the fraud, insisting that she knew nothing about it.
But Mr. Fayose had insisted that the president’s wife was involved in the fraud in which Nigeria lost huge sums of money, alleging that the Federal Government’s anti-corruption war was selective and politically-motivated.
The governor claimed that Aisha Buhari was named in a document that stated she was one of those indicted in the celebrated scandal.
