Wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, has responded to the claim by Senator Isah Misau that the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, fraudulently purchased two Sports Utility Vehicles for her.

In a terse reply which she posted on her twitter handle on Thursday, the First Lady said, “I am using my personal car.”

Misau, who had heaped several allegations of corruption on the IGP had, when he appeared before the Senate Ad Hoc Committee investigating the allegations, added that the IGP also bought two SUVs for Mrs. Buhari. These expenses Misau claimed, were not budgeted.

“I still have some contract papers that the IG himself submitted to the court, where the First Lady through her aide-de-camp requested a Toyota Hiace and a Sienna jeep.

But Aisha, in her response, only said that she is using her own cars
