Nigeria’s president demands to know how a fake agency was allegedly set up in his office. The incident occurred in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, where a fake agency operating under the name “State House Media Accreditation Office” was discovered within the premises of the presidential villa. President Muhammadu Buhari has demanded a thorough investigation into the matter to uncover how such an agency could have been established within his office without detection.
The discovery of the fake agency was made public by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who clarified that the Presidency has no knowledge of such an entity and urged the public to disregard any communication from the bogus office. It is still unclear how long the fake agency had been operating and what its motives were in impersonating a legitimate media accreditation office within the presidential villa.
In response to the discovery, President Buhari has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the incident thoroughly and has emphasized the need for security agencies to step up their efforts in ensuring the safety and security of the presidential villa.
The case has raised concerns about security protocols within the presidential villa and the potential implications of such infiltration. The public awaits the outcome of the investigation to shed light on how the fake agency was allegedly set up within the president’s office.
