365news gathered that Aisha Buhari, the first lady of Nigeria, has come under fire from social activist Aisha Yesufu for reportedly ordering Aminu Muhammad’s arrest and incarceration due to an alleged defamatory social media post.
In June, Muhammad, a final-year student at Federal University Dutse in Jigawa State’s Department of Environmental Management and Toxicology, tweeted in Hausa, “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi,” which is roughly translated as “the mother has gotten fatter by consuming masses’ money.”
As you may have noticed, Aminu had tweeted her displeasure over the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ then-prolonged strike action due to the Federal Government’s failure to uphold its agreement with the union.
Yesufu, who who took to her YouTube channel on Sunday, commented on the development, describing Muhammed’s arrest as unconstitutional and outrageous.
According to punch report, the #BringBackOurGirls co-convener said the President, major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), regime had led 133 million Nigerians to poverty.
“Aisha Buhari should be ashamed of herself. This is so unlawful. Her husband has thrown 63% of Nigerians into multidimensional poverty. Haven’t they grown fat over the sweat of Nigerians? They have been thrown into multidimensional wealth. Who is she to arrest people for telling her to have eaten the riches of the poor?
“If she is this powerful, why wouldn’t she use her power to rescue Nigerians in captivity? A number of girls taken away from Federal Government College Yawuri over a year now. You throw people into poverty. Nigerians aren’t secure. Yet you use your little nonsensical power to arrest somebody.
“You should have told your husband not to be contesting. You voted for the abysmal failure that’s Nigerian President and yet you’re saying people shouldn’t talk. You oppress people because you have the power. But I don’t blame, I blame Nigerians,” Yesufu lashed out at the First Lady.
The DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, had yet to respond to texts and call put across to his phone line by PUNCH correspondent as of the time of filing this report.
