President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Musa, as his Chief Personal Security Officer, CPSO.
He replaces Commissioner of Police, CP, Abdulkarim Dauda, who has been redeployed.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, made the announcement on Monday.
His words: “Musa’s appointment follows the redeployment of his predecessor, Commissioner of Police (CP) Abdulkarim Dauda.”
According to him, “Musa, from Nigerian Police Force Zone 5, Benin City, as his last station, hails from Niger State.”
It would be recalled that the president ordered a thorough investigation into an alleged security breach at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, involving his aides and those of his wife, Aisha.
The breach was by a security aide who shot at the Presidential Villa.
Following the breach, security aides of the First Lady, Aisha, were said to have been arrested on the order of the Chief Security Officer of the president.
The cause of the problem, it was gathered, was that security aides of the First Lady tried to force Yusuf Sabiu, an aide of the president, out of the Villa because he did not self-isolate when he returned to Abuja from Lagos.
