The presidency has released the statement below confirming reports that a shot(s) was inappropriately fired at the State House recently.
Rather than outrightly say that shot was wrongly fired, Garba Shehu, President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesperson, said some armed guards came short in the handling of their weapons.
The clash reportedly occurred after Mr Yusuf refused to embark on 14 days self-isolation as directed by Mrs Buhari having just returned from a trip outside Abuja. The police have since arrested Mr Shugaba and other police security details attached to the first lady, a move condemned by Mrs Buhari who called for their release.
“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.
