Suleiman Dahun, said that the case would be investigated to ascertain its genuineness. Dahun said it was an offence under the law for a civilian to use a military uniform. “However, that does not call for brutalisation of an offending civilian,’’ he said. Dahun also said that there were appropriate sections of the navy that handled such cases, adding that if any officer or rating was found guilty, the navy would use appropriate sections to deal with any officer found wanting. He, however, assured that the matter would be investigated while promising the public that the navy would continue to secure the nation’s waterways.

But the Presidency says the situation has not in any way hindered the President from performing his duties. Buhari, who arrived the country on August 19 to a wild jubilation by Nigerians after spending over 100 days abroad, has been operating from an office located inside his official residence and another one located inside the Presidential Banquet Hall. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, had said the President’s office needed renovation because of its devastation by rodents during his long period of absence. “Following the three-month period of disuse, rodents have caused a lot of damage to the furniture and the air conditioning units,” he had said, explaining that it was impossible for the President to operate from the office in th
