The Presidency has debunked a story making the rounds that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC declared a son-in-law to the President wanted over contract scam.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nPointblanknews.com<\/a>\u00a0had exclusively reported that the ICPC accused three persons of misappropriating sixty-five million dollars and had declared the trio wanted.<\/p>\n

One of those allegedly declared wanted and a purported son-in-law of President Muhammadu Buhari is Gimba Yau Kumo.<\/p>\n

Yau Kumo was said to have married the President\u2019s second daughter Fatima Buhari in 2016.<\/p>\n

But the Presidency said that though Gimba Yau Kumo at some point in time had been linked to the President family member in marriage, that relationship ended some years ago<\/p>\n

The Presidency reaction was contained in a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The statement read, \u201cA running story to the effect that the EFCC has declared \u201can inlaw of the President\u201d wanted in connection with fraud involving the large sum of money , USD65 million to be exact.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis should normally be an affirmation that our anti-corruption agencies\/institutions are truly independent and allowed unfettered freedom by the President. Which in fact is the case.<\/p>\n

\u201d That a state institution can issue such is a measure of the administration\u2019s commitment to accountability, equality, and justice.<\/p>\n

“To set the records straight, the person declared wanted by the EFCC is not an inlaw to President Buhari.<\/p>\n

\u201d While at some point in time the said fugitive from justice had been linked to a family member in marriage, that relationship has ended some years ago. It is therefore unfortunate to bring the President\u2019s family into this case.It is in our view, an attempt to generate views and sell copies of sensational reporting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President\u2019s position at all times is that the law be allowed to take its course. As is well known of him, President Muhammadu Buhari will not provide any cover for crime, no matter who is involved.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
