    “There is serious danger in using the police to illegally detain citizens.

    “I hope those of you supporting this abuse of power won’t cry foul when you or your loved ones are the victims.

    But go to Court and seek Justice like the rest of us do.

    “Don’t use your friends in government to illegally detain citizens. It may favor you now, but think about tomorrow when you no longer have that power or the closeness to that power. It might not be you, it might be someone you care about.

    “What will become of us if everyone takes law into their own hands?”

    “An absolute legend. He promotes Music Artistes even outside his record label. Gives free advice and visibility to up and coming artists, shows love to everyone irrespective of their status. I am also a beneficiary of his phenomenal influence!

    "Madam First Lady, you are not God"- Mr Macaroni reacts to reports of alleged arrest of Aminu
    Mr Macaroni

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the First Lady (Aisha) and the Department of State Services (DSS) are facing criticism over the arrest of a 23-year-old student after a remark on Twitter.

    Aminu Adamu, a student of the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, was detained for commenting on Aisha’s weight.

    In June 2022, the undergraduate tweeted “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi” (The mother has got fatter by eating masses’ money).

    Aminu’s friends said the tweet was in protest of the eight-month strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

    The industrial action infuriated thousands of students so much that they made comments, videos, and organized rallies against the government.

    Aminu was arrested on campus around 12 noon on November 8, and was only allowed to speak to his father, Shalele Azare Adamu.

    As of Sunday night, Aisha Buhari was trending on Twitter with more than 60,000 mentions as users mount pressure on the authorities to free the student.

    Human rights activist, Inibehe Effiong, reaction:

    Legal practitioner, Inibehe Effiong, said it is petty, ridiculous and unconstitutional for the DSS to hold a citizen for “mockery”.

    Effiong insists Nigeria is not Iran, North Korea or China and vowed that reckless abuse of power will not be tolerated.

    The rights activist stated that the First Lady (Aisha) should have taken Aminu to court for libel if she felt defamed.

    “It is not acceptable to deploy state apparatus in such a draconian and oppressive manner the way Mrs Aisha Buhari has done to settle personal scores. The DSS has no jurisdiction in this case”, Effiong said.

    In one of his several reactions on the matter, Investigative Reporter, David Hundeyin quoted a 2013 tweet by the APC United Kingdom verified account.

    “Death notice (2) Survived by GEJ (Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan), Shepopotamus (Alleged reference to Patience Jonathan)…Funeral to be held at Aso Rock. No sycophants or flowers please”, it reads.

    Noting that the tweet was about a sitting First Lady, David wrote: “The sky did not fall down. So please entirely miss me with anything you have to say. Aisha Buhari’s bullying has not even started.”
