police in Abuja have arrested a woman , Aisha Bello , 37, for allegedly impersonating the wife of the President , Mrs . Aisha Buhari .
Parading the suspect on Monday in Abuja , the Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police , Sadiq Bello , said that the mother of four used Buhari ’ s name to solicit for contracts and financial assistance from unsuspecting members of the public .
The commissioner said that a phone and a newly - acquired Airtel SIM card registered in the name of the first lady were recovered from her .
He said , “Today , we have a special suspect to present to you; she is Aisha Muhammed Bello , 37 years old and a mother of four from Plateau .
“The suspect was arrested by police operatives on January 10 , 2018 at the FADAMA office in Maitama , following a report that she contacted the coordinator of the project . She wanted assistance in her capacity as the First Lady . ”
The CP explained that investigation was ongoing to ascertain other people she must have duped in Mrs . Buhari ’ s name , adding that the suspect would be charged to court at the end of investigation .
The suspect , who described herself as a businesswoman, admitted that she solicited for contracts in the Buhari ’ s name because she had lost her business capital .
She said , “ I was arrested after I requested for a contract in the name of the wife of the President . I only sent text messages in the name of the wife of the President for contracts . I only did it once and it is because I lost the money for my business and I didn ’ t have money to continue with the business . ”
Bello explained that she took the risk after reading a motivational message on social media platform ,
WhatsApp , about risk - taking.
“I saw a message on Whatsapp messenger that one will succeed if one takes a risk , ” she stated .
