Alleged Insult On Nigeria’s First Lady: NANS Sends Message To Police, Aisha Buhari Over Arrest And Detention Of Student

By One Class

The leadership of National Association of Nigeria Students received with concern the news of the unlawful arrest of Aminu Adamu Mohammed student of Federal University Dutse Jigawa by the Nigerian Police on the instruction of Her Excellency Aisha Buhari wife of the President Federal Republic on Nigeria.

Upon receiving the news, I, Aminu’s family and friends swung into action to trace the whereabout of Aminu. after some days of search, we got the information that: he was at the police units in Wuse Zone 2. I met with Aminu at the police custody.

Findings:

It was alleged that Aminu Adamu Mohammed some weeks back posted Haj. Aisha Buhari’s picture on Twitter with the caption “su mama anchi kudin talakawa an koshi”. Just like the normal way angry citizens have different ways of expression on the social media. On 18th November 2022, the police from Abuja track Aminu to the Federal University Dutse and picked him without any written/verbal invitation or informing the school management or his family.

Aminu was taken straight to the presidential villa and he was allegedly brutalized, beaten, maltreated and humiliated by the Police on the orders of Haj. Aisha Buhari, after which he was unlawfully detained in a police facility at Wuse Zone II till date. I with our team of lawyers met with Aminu at the police facility which he confirmed the incidence to me. Until now, Aminu has not been arraigned by any competent court of law or granted bail by the police.

Conclusion:

We want to on behalf of all the Nigerian Students tender our unreversed apology to First Lady Haj. Aisha Buhari for the actions of AMINU ADAMU MOHAMMED which might have caused her and her family pains.

However, as leaders and public office holders, we must overlook some criticism if we want to really forge ahead and do the right thing.

We demand a detail explanation by the Nigerian Police on why they will go to school premises and “kidnap” a student without due process and took him straight to the Presidential Villa where he was brutalized which violet his Fundamental Human Rights.

Aminu Adamu Mohammed had sustained various injuries and has not access any proper medical attention, hence we call on the Police as a matter of national interest and urgency release Aminu unconditionally or be prepare to face the Nigerian Students.

However, we are calling on our teeming students to be careful and apply decorum in dealing with people especially our leaders. They should be mindful of what they post on social media.

We want to inform the general public to be patience as we await response and actions from the Inspector General of police on a letter earlier send to his office.
