President Muhammadu
Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, has made an emergency trip to London in
search of medical treatment after suddenly falling ill on Wednesday at the
Presidential Villa.
Sources at Aso Rock
disclosed that this was the second time Mr. Kyari has ended up in a hospital
within the last one month. None of our sources could state the precise nature
of the presidential aide’s sickness.
However, one of our
sources said that Mr. Kyari, who was present at the Kaduna home of President
Buhari’s powerful nephew, Mamman Daura, during a stunning high profile raid
that led to the kidnap of Ambassador Bagudu Hirse two weeks ago, was badly
shaken up by the incident. “He is still in shock from the attack,” said the
source.
SaharaReporters has
done several reports detailing how Mr. Kyari has become amassed wealth by
coddling corrupt Nigerians seeking to be shielded from investigation or
prosecution. He and a few top confidantes of President Buhari have also worked
behind the scenes to remove Ibrahim Magu as the chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
A source at the
Presidency said President Buhari told Mr. Kyari to take a break to go and look
after his unsteady health. The source said Mr. Buhari was already considering
replacing his ailing CoS with the current Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.
However, the source said several aides to Mr. Buhari were opposed to replacing
Mr. Kyari with Mr. Adamu, explaining that the aides believe the minister would
be even worse than Mr. Kyari.
The source at the
Presidency also claimed that Mr. Kyari telephoned President Buhari earlier
today from the U.K. to report that he was feeling better
