According to Premium Times, Baba-Inna, a Chief Superintendent of Police, received about N2.5 billion from politicians and business people on behalf of Mrs Buhari and then kept the cash to himself.
Mrs Buhari who ordered the Police boss, Ibrahim Idris, to investigate the case was, however, not satisfied with the investigation.
She ordered the DSS to take up the matter.
