President Muhammad Buhari’s son, Yusuf Buhari, who had a bike accident that left him in need of a brain surgery alongside his friend, Bashir Gwandu, has been accused of secretly acquiring two BMW power bikes, worth a whopping $157,000 (N57million) each from Germany, without his dad’s approval.

According to a report by Daily Post, President Muhammad Buhari didn’t know of the existence of his son Yusuf’s power bikes. He also didn’t know Yusuf Buhari always snuck out at night to go race on the bikes at his friend, Gwandu’s place.

You recall, the accident, which left Yusuf needing brain surgery, resulted as a collision between Yusuf and Gwandu.

Following the involvement of President Muhammadu Buhari’s only son, Yusuf in a ghastly accident, during a power-bike racing on Tuesday, December 26,2017; facts have emerged on how Yusuf secretly acquired the multi million naira bikes.

DAILY POST exclusively gathered from a reliable source at the presidency that the BMW power-bikes, worth a whopping sum of $157,000 each from Germany were acquired secretly by Yusuf around June, 2017 at the instance of his friend, Bashir Gwandu.

Our source revealed that upon the purchase of the two power bikes, they were kept at Gwandu’s residence, located in Gwarinpa District, in the Bwari Local Government Area.

“Yusuf, who is attached with three operatives from the Department of State Service (DSS) reportedly struck a deal with his security details, who allowed him to always sneak out in the night for racing at Gwandu’s place.”

“The operatives, against their pattern of operation and procedure of duty perpetually rolled out their daily reports without that aspect of Yusuf’s movement, the compromise that got President Buhari seriously infuriated.

It was also gathered that the DSS operatives who were assigned to Yusuf before the bike accident that happened in Gwarimpa, Abuja on Tuesday December 26th have been sacked. Daily Post continues:
