UPDATE-Aisha Buhari's brother, Musa Yola, denies being arrested over N300m fraud

Younger brother to Aisha Buhari, Musa Yola, has denied media reports that he was arrested on the order of President Buhari over a N300 million oil bloc fraud. Sahara Reporters had published a report earlier today claiming Yola was arrested last week on the order of the President for defrauding a businessman of N300 million with the promise to help him secure an oil bloc. Speaking with Premium Times, Mr Yola said he was shocked at the reports.

“As we speak, I am in the President’s office and I was with him last night. I simply don’t know or understand who is behind these malicious rumours,” he said.
