The police in Yobe have arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly insulting Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni on social media.<\/p>\n
He was arrested on December 11, 2022, but his travail came to public knowledge on Monday. <\/p>\n
The minor\u2019s father, Garba Isa, on Monday called the public attention to his son’s travail and appealed to the police authorities to release his son.<\/p>\n
It was gathered that the minor was arrested in Nguru and later transferred to the State Investigation Division of the Nigeria Police Force in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Channels Television, Isa condemned the attitude of his son.<\/p>\n
The laundry worker appealed to the governor and the Commissioner of Police, Garba Haruna to release his son on passionate grounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cI regret what my son did. I am nobody, an ordinary laundry man, what my son (Umar) did was totally wrong, I appeal to Governor Mai Mala Buni and the police on passionate grounds to forgive my son and release him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the development, the Commissioner of Police admitted that the suspect is in custody, saying when investigations are concluded he would be charged to the court.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we conclude our investigation, he will definitely be charged to court. People are using social media to insult and tarnish people\u2019s character, the society needs to be sanitised,\u201d the CP said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot use social media and begin to post all sorts of things. There is law and order in Nigeria, whoever infringes on someone\u2019s right will be punished.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
