The statement signed by Garba Shehu reads:
“The Presidency wishes to acknowledge concerns expressed by several
members of the public regarding the recent incident among the occupants
of the State House which escalation led to the arrest of some staff by
the police.
“This is to assure all and everyone that the President and
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, is not, and
was not at any time in any form of danger arising, either from deadly
infections or the reported incident by security personnel which is
currently under investigation.
“This particular incident happened outside the main residence of the
President.
“Armed guards and other security personnel assigned to the State House
receive the necessary training of especially weapons handling and where
they come short, their relevant agencies have their rules and
regulations to immediately address them.
“Having authorized the proper investigation to be carried out into this
unfortunate incident by the Police, the President has acted in
compliance with the rule of law.
“That a minor occurrence is being used by some critics to justify
attacks on the government and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari
beggars belief.
“In this particular instance, the President says the law should be
allowed to take its course.
