These are not the best of times for Mr. Lere Olayinka, Special Assistant to Governor Ayodele Fayose on Public Communication and New Media and Mr. Idowu Adelusi, Chief Press Secretary to the governor as Her Excellency, Hajia Aisha Buhari, wife of the president of Nigeria has taken them to court for linking her to Halliburton bribery scandal in America.

In the ex-parte motion, filed July 20, 2016, Aisha Buhari prayed the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, to grant her reliefs to issue writ of summons against Mr. Fayose and his media advisers, Idowu Adelusi and Lere Olayinka. Olukayode Adeniyi, the presiding judge, granted all reliefs sought by Mrs. Buhari, including an order of substituted service. Mary Ekpere, counsel to Mrs. Buhari, prayed the court for the lawsuit to be served on Gov. Fayose and his two aides.

Be that as it may, their boss, Gov. Fayose enjoys immunity due to Section 308 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999. But Mr. Lere Olayinka and Idowu Adelusi are in big trouble because the President’s wife can take them to court and if convicted, they will be sent to prison.

Those close to Mr. Olayinka and Adelusi squealed to us that they are already jittery as Aisha Buhari is bent on pursing the case to a logical conclusion.
