The State Security Service has apprehended a student of Federal University Dutse over a social media post about the weight of Aisha Buhari before and after she became first lady. <\/p>\n
Aminu Adamu Muhammed had in June posted on Twitter that Mrs Buhari had suddenly become corpulent after taking part in plundering and pillaging of the nation\u2019s lean resources as the masses endured hardship under her husband\u2019s troubling government. <\/p>\n
In the June 8, 2022, tweet, Mr Muhammed chastised Ms Buhari in Hausa: \u201cSu mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi\u201d, which could be translated as \u201cthe mother has gotten fatter by eating masses\u2019 money.\u201d <\/p>\n
Muhammed\u2019s friends said he made the post because he was frustrated about the prolonged strike by universities across the country. The strike, which started in early 2022, ended last month after nine months.<\/p>\n
From a somewhat lean and moderate physique when her husband was seeking office in 2015, Mrs Buhari\u2019s stature has grown rotund, fueling speculation at a point that she might be ill or pregnant, She denied both claims.<\/p>\n
According to Peoples Gazette, a family source said Muhammed, 23, was picked up by officers on November 8 on the campus ground of Federal University Dutse, Jigawa. The student was reportedly subjected to severe beating by the officers following his arrest at about 12:00 noon. <\/p>\n
He was summarily transferred to Abuja and was briefly allowed to contact his father Adamu Shalele Azare about his location, which the family thought was a police station.<\/p>\n
The family later disclosed that the State Security Service was behind Mr Muhammad\u2019s arrest. It was not immediately clear if the family has been able to contract a lawyer over the matter.<\/p>\n
The incident marked the latest manifestation of assault on fundamental rights that has characterised Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s regime. Since 2015, thousands of Nigerians have been arrested, jailed or exiled over speeches deemed unflattering towards the government or its allies. Like her husband, Ms Buhari has repeatedly targeted journalists for harassment by federal agents.<\/p>\n
Still, the administration has continued to downplay its role in deterioration of human rights since 2015, saying most of the attacks were carried out by rogue officers who were not necessarily delegated by the president or his cabinet members and other appointees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
