Buhari’s security officials under fire.

President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly blamed his security officials for allowing his son, Yusuf, leave home at night with his friend for power-bike racing.

Recall that Yusuf suffered head and limb injury following the bike accident he had on Tuesday night in Abuja.

He was rushed to Cedarcrest Hospital in Abuja unconscious where doctors have been battling to stabilize him.

A source anonymously told ThisDay that the President was dejected when he visited his son at the hospital on Wednesday night and saw him in a critical condition. According to the source, the president reproved his security officials for allowing Yusuf leave at night.

The source said: “The president was at the hospital on Wednesday night. He was very devastated when he saw his son, Yusuf, in a very critical situation. He was shaking his head, while looking at his son and thereafter angrily reprimanded his security officials for allowing Yusuf to leave home at that time of the day for power-bike racing.

“From the way the president spoke, it appears the security aides are in trouble. He spoke angrily. The Minister of Interior, Lt-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd); his FCT ministry counterpart, Alhaji Mohammed Bello; and the Senate President’s wife, Mrs. Toyin Saraki; stayed throughout the night of Tuesday till Wednesday at the hospital with Hajia Aisha Buhari.

“While the doctors were working to stabilise him, Dambazau kept appealing to the doctors to do everything possible to stabilise Yusuf, saying the president would find it very difficult to bear the pain if anything happens to his son.”
