Staff of Africa Independent Television, AIT, have been barred
 from covering all activities of  the President-elect, Gen. Buhari 
until issues bordering on ethics and standards against them have been 
addressed. AIT crew members were today escorted out of the Defence House where
 the president-elect currently resides. He was about to have a meeting 
with the Cuban and Switzerland ambassadors when the reporters were escorted out.
 Speaking on the development, the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign 
organization, Shehu Garba said family and security concerns necessitated it.
"AIT has been asked to 
step aside based on security and family concerns. In addition, Buhari has decided that they will have to resolve some 
issues relating to issues of standard and ethics. We will be talking with them to try and resolve the matter, but for now
 the station has been asked to stay aside because, like I said, there 
are some family and security concerns. 
They have been asked to step down
 their coverage until we resolve the matter with them on ethics and 
standards. You can quote me that I said that we have asked them to step aside and 
that we are resolving the the issues of ethics and standards with them.”he said
