Aisha Buhari Orders The Arrest, Detention of Student, For Saying 'She Feeds Fat on Poor People's Money'
Category: Nigeria News
An undergraduate of the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, Aminu Adamu,
has been languishing in detention after security officials comprising the
police and men of the Department of State Service, arrested him over a post on
Twitter alleging that the wife of President
Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha,
was feeding fat on poor people’s money.
Aminu’s uncle, Shehu
Azare, in an interview published by BBC Hausa on Monday, said the victim’s
father, Mallam Ádámù, was not aware of his arrest until about five days later.
Appealing to the First Lady to release Aminu, Azare said Aminu’s
father was not aware of his son’s condition until one of his friends informed
him.

The uncle said, “His father did not know about his arrest. It was five
days later that one of Mallam Ádámù’s friends called and told him that his son
had not been seen in school for about five days. That was last Monday.
“Then
a day after, Aminu called his father and told him what was happening, that he
was arrested and taken to Aso Rock by the wife of the President,
Muhammad Buhari, beaten, scolded and was arrested somewhere.
“It was a security
agent that gave him a phone and told him to tell his parents. Later on, Adamu
explained more to me that the school authority called him and told him that it
had no knowledge of the incident before, but now they have information on his
arrest.”

Azare said Aminu was about to sit his final exams in school when his
whereabouts became unknown, adding that the situation threw the family into
confusion.
“We are in tension because you cannot stand your son
disappearing like this. Same incident happened in so many places, some you
don’t even hear about again. What we are saying is that let her not be
offended, let her be patient and release him, because she is a mother, that is
what we are hoping,” Azare told BBC Hausa.
Punch Metro gathered
that the management of Aminu’s school confirmed his arrest on Monday, noting
that the undergraduate was arrested during the break.

resolution soon,” Bello added.
