President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered an investigation into last Thursday’s reported incident, in which gunshots were reportedly fired around the State House.

The Presidency, according to The Nation, stated this while revealing President Buhari’s reaction to the incident, also noted that the incident never took place within the walls of the State House and did not portend any danger to both the safety and health of the President.

The Presidency, in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, also said President Buhari would allow the law to run its course on the matter.

It, however, expressed disappointment over the sentiment being woven around the incident by the opposition, especially for using it to justify its attack on the government.

“The Presidency wishes to acknowledge concerns expressed by several members of the public regarding the recent incident among the occupants of the State House which escalation led to the arrest of some staff by the police.

“This is to assure all and everyone that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, is not, and was not at anytime in any form of danger arising, either from deadly infections or the reported incident by security personnel which is currently under investigation.

“This particular incident happened outside the main residence of the President.

“Armed guards and other security personnel assigned to the State House receive the necessary training of especially weapons handling and where they come short, their relevant agencies have their rules and regulations to immediately address them.

“Having authorized the proper investigation to be carried out into this unfortunate incident by the Police, the President has acted in compliance with the rule of law.

“That a minor occurrence is being used by some critics to justify attacks on the government and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari beggars belief.

“In this particular instance, the President says the law should be allowed to take its course,” the statement said.
