The security aides of the first lady were later arrested and detained by the police.
Believed to be one of the wealthiest young men in Nigeria, Yusuf until his appointment by President Buhari, was said to be surviving on proceeds from the sale of call cards in his native Daura, a small community in Katsina State in the northern part of the country where Buhari hails from.
During Buhari s 77th birthday in December 2019, Yusuf is said to have worn a Patek Phillipe leather wristwatch valued at $99,995.00 – about N36 million.
However, it was not the first time that individuals in the presidency would be quarrelling with the first lady and her family. In December 2019 for instance, Aisha accused the senior special adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, as well as Mamman Daura, a nephew and close ally of her husband, of working against the first family.

Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno South, has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Amnesty International (AI) to leave the Nigerian Army alone over alleged incidents of human rights abuses in the country.
Ndume disclosed this while answering questions from journalists on Tuesday in Abuja on the allegations of human rights abuses against the Nigerian Army by ICC and AI.
The senator also urged the Nigerian Army to concentrate on its task of fighting insurgency in Nigeria and ignore what he labelled a distraction by the two international organizations.
According to him, the same international organisations refused to refer to Boko Haram as a terrorist organization but instead preferred to refer to the insurgents as non-state actors.
