Responding to the allegations, the wife of the President, through her twitter handle has said they are “false and unfounded”, threatening to take them to court if they continue with such allegations.

Mrs Aisha Muhammadu Buhari is not a dealer of forex. She has not and will never be involved in any illegal dealings.

Making false and unfounded allegations without proof just to incite Nigerians on social media is wrong.

Be advised, any further attempt to malign the person of the Wife of the President will be dealt with according to the law
