According to findings by SaharaReporters, some of the Presidency aides refused access into Aso Villa after returning from the burial include State House Chief Protocol Officer, Ambassador Lawal Kazaure, Special Assistant to the President, Yusuf Sabiu, a nephew to the President, Musa Haro Daura, and Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the, Garba Shehu.


Some top aides of President Muhammadu Buhari have been denied access into the Presidential Villa in Abuja after returning from the burial of late Chief of Staff to Buhari, Abba Kyari, on Saturday.

The burial at Gudu Cemetery was attended by a large crowd – most of whom had no nose mask or hand gloves on them for protection against Coronavirus.

This development violated the social distancing rule put in place by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and exposed attendees including the Presidential aides to the risk of contracting the highly contagious and deadly disease, which claimed the life of Kyari.

According to findings by SaharaReporters, some of the Presidency aides refused access into Aso Villa after returning from the burial include State House Chief Protocol Officer, Ambassador Lawal Kazaure, Special Assistant to the President, Yusuf Sabiu, a nephew to the President, Musa Haro Daura, and Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the, Garba Shehu.

Others are National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, Director-General of National Intelligence Agency, Mr Ahmad Rufai, and Personal Assistant on New Media to President Buhari, Bashir Ahmed, among several more persons.

The burial ceremony was aired on several television stations across Nigeria and the large gathering, against government’s order, was seen by all violating the rule.

“Security personnel at the Villa turned back the aides of President Muhammadu Buhari after attending the burial ceremony of Mallam Kyari and coming in with several persons against the rule of the NCDC.

“President Buhari is not happy that the aides decided to violate clear protocols and guidelines of the NCDC and he directed that they should keep off the Presidential Villa to undergo self-isolation,” a Presidency official told SaharaReporters on Saturday.

Kyari’s death was announced on Friday by the Presidency after weeks of battling with Coronavirus.

Baba is taking precautionary measures

Very good one!! They should go home and rest. Insensitive set of people,they still haven't learnt their lesson. The elite think they can always violate clear guidance and instructions. Covid-19 is not playing!!

That's right

Times and Sahara Reporters are the best media houses in Nigeria

These guys must be paying a lot to get their information

On behalf of every Nigerian who always seeks to know the truth, I say a big thank you to them for exposing the ineptitude, corruption and laxity among Nigerian government officials

Good to see there's still an iota of law and order in this democratic system military regime.

Seconded. The media has done well in this COVID-19 period..


Excluding Nairaland "la click la bend" bloggers

Buhari is becoming very careful not to contract the virus too and kick the bucket.

Baba, God must finish what He has started in Nigeria ooooo.

They can’t afford another loss

Who wants to die?

but why pretend as if they care if the virus spreads. because it is aso rock?

Check out all the names..

Federal Republic of Fulageria.
Rascals

Buhari is just playing safe to avoid stories that touch.......Watching Abba die even with all the effort won't be easy for him.......with the closed border and Aisha said there is no panadol in Aso clinic......he can't risk it.

Very good one from baba
Anybody wey get hear problem should go home

So true, they fed us reliable jornalism.

Hmm

What ooh!
So right now,
as in as I'm typing this stuff now. Aso villa is full of dullards, and dundees. All claiming one form of relationship or the other to Mr president and using it as a leverage to assume some positions within the presidential cabinet. So roaming about in the villa is Dundee united and their captain. So if I enter villa now I will just be seeing things like various species of dundees
I pity for yemi, no wonder gray hair has started sprouting uncontrollably.
Curiosity and curiosity.

All this aboki in government house will all pay the supreme price alphabetically

In fact, I'm fed up of this country!

Better

IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND HOW STUPIDITY AT THE HIGHEST ORDER WAS DISPLAYED AT THE BURIAL WHICH SHOULDN’T HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE FIRST PLACE. SENSELESS PEOPLE RISKED GETTING INFECTED, KNOWING FULLY WELL HOW CONTAGIOUS COVID-19 IS.
OF COURSE THEY SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO VISIT ASO ROCK, IF THE PRESIDENT’S LIFE HAS TO BE PROTECTED.

C aw covid dey humble strong men ............covid doesnt knw u are cabal ... since he has break the head chairman of cabal ... now brain is setting into the aso rock .... a big congratulation to aisha buary.... now u can enjoy ur home and ur husband

Since they no get sense.. Sense will be forced on them..

Buhari no wan take chances at all...

If all these Buhari Aides are this daft then I feel bad for Nigeria. It’s an indictment on the aides and the man who appointed them.

They should have been forcefully quarantined.
It is not only Buhari that needs protection from Covid-19.
Nigerians also deserve protection from those irresponsible fellows.

Satan: Covid19 who did u kill?
Covid19: Abba Kyari sir...
Satan: fvck up!!!
Covid19: What is it sir?
Satan: wrong target. I sent u 2 kill Bubu...
Covid19: shud I go bak nw?
Satan: wait...dey want to gather together, U will go nd kill em all.

For their pocket!


Our own be say: hunger dey wire us!

Make una try sleep now. It's 04:32am
Haba

Kyari's death could have been avoided if only he was disciplined about WHO guidelines on Covid-19, yet people in government are still acting irresponsibly.

Naso life be.. Buhari protecting himself after sending Abba Kyari to , Egypt and death
