There was an attempt to burgle the residence of Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, according to the presidency.
An online platform had reported that both Gambari and an administrative officer at the presidency simply identified as Maikano, were robbed.
According to the report, which has been trending online, armed robbers invaded Aso Rock and emptied the residences of Gambari and Maikano.
Responding in some tweets on Monday night, Malam Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, said, “There was a foolish attempt to burgle his (Gambari’s) residence at 3:00am this morning but it turned out to be unsuccessful.”
“Professor Gambari, whose house is on a street next to the Villa has assured that there is nothing to worry about from the incident.”
