See The Woman Impersonating Aisha Buhari

 

    The Department of State Services (DSS) yesterday paraded a woman, Amina Mohammed, for impersonating Hajia Aisha Buhari, wife of the President Muhammadu Buhari, to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians. Addressing newsmen, DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, said that Amina had disguised as Aisha Buhari to fleece a Lagos-based business mogul of N150 million.

   There was, however, mild drama during the parade at the headquarters of the DSS, when Amina, also known as Justina Oluoha and Amina Villa, who initially refused to appear before newsmen, shouted that she was not alone in the cartel. Shouting and weeping, she alleged that Aisha Buhari’s sisters and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), among others are accomplices.

  “Amina Mohammed, also known as Justina Oluoha and Amina Villa, had on November 22, 2017, paraded herself as the First Lady of Kogi State. “She used the false identity to evade protocol and scrutiny thus gaining unauthorized access into the Villa, and particularly the residence of the First Lady and wife of the president, Hajia Aisha Buhari. She took advantage of the fact that personalities such as first ladies, ministers and certain categories of officials are not taken through rigorous protocol and security checks at the Villa posts.

“What may even surprise you is that Amina, whose phone number is registered with the name, Amina Villa, had on the said date invited (names withheld) into the Villa wherein she made him believe the invitation was at the instance of the First Lady. “Investigation has revealed that the First Lady was away on lesser hajj and not in the Villa during the period. The businessman had complained that he was fleeced of over N150 million in respect of a Court of Appeal property in Lagos, which Amina had promised to help him buy through the First Lady.

  “The property was said to have been part of those under the Presidential Implementation Committee on Lease of Federal Government Properties. Investigation has shown that this unholy enterprise is not to the knowledge of the First Lady. What Amina simply did was to use the First Lady’s name and office as bait to lure and defraud her victims. “Members of the public are advised to be wary of individuals or groups that drop names and offices of high government officials to defraud them.”
