President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha, has debunked the allegation that she was given two Sports Utility Vehicles by the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
She said she was still using her personal cars.
Her words: “‘I’m still using my personal cars”
Senator Isa Misau made the allegation on Wednesday when he appeared before the ad-hoc committee set up by the Senate to probe the allegations of financial malpractices against Idris and the Police Service Commission.

The senator said the details of the SUV gift to Aisha were contained in the documents the police boss submitted to court in the suit instituted against him by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami, on behalf of the Federal Government.
“I still have some contract papers that the IG himself submitted to the court, where the First Lady through her aide-de-camp requested a Toyota Hiace and a Sienna jeep.
“The same day that the ADC wrote, the IG minuted that she should be given two jeeps. And it is not part of the appropriation. If you look at the appropriation, there is nowhere they said the First Lady should be given two jeeps,” he said.
But in her reaction contained in a tweet on Thursday, she said: “I’m still using my personal cars.”
