Student in DSS custody for calling Aisha Buhari FAT.
The Department of State Security Security has arrested a 500-level student at the Federal University Dutse for a tweet about Aisha Buhari, who is the first lady of Nigeria. Aminu Adamu Muhammad, a 23-year-old student, was arrested in June 2022 after he shared a post on Twitter that was seen as bad.
Aminu had posted a picture of the first lady with a caption in Hausa that read; ”Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi”; translated as “the mother has got fatter by eating masses’ money.”
Angered by this, security operatives on the order of the first lady were said to have arrested Aminu from his school on November 8 at about 12:00 noon. Aminu was reportedly subjected to severe beating by the officers following his arrest.
Muhammed’s friends said he made the post because he was frustrated about the prolonged strike by universities across the country.
News of his arrest has since generated public condemnation with many describing the first lady as a “tyrant”.
