Former military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari has issued a
statement dissociating himself from one 'Mohammed Buhari', said to be
his adopted son who was arrested by operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over an alleged N20Million Naira
fraud (see here).
The statement issued by Jasper Azuatalam on behalf of the former head of state says:
"Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) wishes to state categorically
that he does not have any adopted son called “Muhammadu Buhari” and had
no need to adopt a son at any time having been blessed with choice
children, both male and female. Muhammadu Buhari and his family do not
know the said “Muhammed Buhari” who is alleged to be involved in a #20M scam and is being held by EFCC as reported by Saharareporters.
"It is regrettable to note that after several unsuccessful attempts to smear the hard earned respect, popularity, dignity, and enviable image of Muhammadu Buhari, mischief makers have resorted to a laughable tactic of linking Muhammadu Buhari to a crime just because someone who has been alleged to have committed a crime somewhere bears the name “Buhari”.
"Muhammadu Buhari is blessed with very descent and disciplined children who obviously took after their father. His children have no single record of stealing and inordinate behavior anywhere in the world. They do not seek attention, but have proven the stuff their father is made of any time their character is put to test.
"However, this is understandable, since the entire attempts by mischief makers to discredit Muhammadu Buhari as an individual have failed. We frown at this poorly articulated gimmick to indirectly link Muhammadu Buhari and his family to a crime allegedly committed by someone unknown to him and his family just for the fact that the said suspect bears the name “Muhammed Buhari”.
"We urge Nigerians to ignore the said report as Muhammadu Buhari and his family will continue to set the pace for others to follow in good character and conduct", the statement concluded.

Dear Blogger....So why do you have to publish nonsense? Yet you gave us the the true fact here that they are not connected. Why publish it at all?
