According to SR investigators, when not occupied by General Buratai or
members of his family, the units he acquired in Dubai are rented out to
guests for as much as $500 a night.
SR said documents it obtained showed that on January 13th, 2013, General Buratai reached an agreement to purchase unit “2711” at the TGF Marina Hotel. The purchase, which the COAS claimed was an investment through the “Project TFG Marina Hotel,” was completely paid for in one transaction. Eventually, the TGF Marina changed its name to “The Wyndham Dubai Marina.”
General Buratai purchased the second apartment days after becoming the Chief of Army Staff.
The First Group, which sold the Dubai properties to General Buratai, is a UK real estate development company, but with many international offices, including ones in Abuja, Lagos, and Ghana.
Subsequent investigations by SR have found that General Buratai’s unit, when not occupied by him or his family, is rented out to hotel patrons.
According to a hotel employee with knowledge of ownership and unit rentals, a room on the 27th floor of the Wyndham Dubai Marina could range from $463 to around $500 per night. The hotel employee told SR that the cost would depend on public demand and availability of rooms in the hotel.

But so far, nothing to show that Buratai and his wives who also have their businesses can't afford such.
