“Musa’s appointment follows the redeployment of his predecessor, Commissioner of Police (CP) Abdulkarim Dauda”, the statement said.

Mohammed Lawal Abubakar, his Chief Personal Security Officer, Abdulkareem Dauda, who was relieved of his duties and replaced with DCP Musa, whom Yusuf, a son to Buhari’s niece, claimed to be threats to his life.

It was learned that Mamman Daura, one of his closest confidants, had persuaded Buhari in taking actions. He reportedly told President Buhari that some of his security aides were not only after Sabiu Yusuf’s life but his own as well.

After listening to Daura’s complaints, the President ordered that all aides involved in the clash and alleged threat to the lives of the two men to be removed.
