The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students has declared a nationwide protest to demand the release of a student of the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, Aminu Mohammed, who was arrested and sent to prison over a tweet on Aisha Buhari, wife of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).<\/p>\n
Sequel to the exhaustion of all options available to us before confrontation in seeking the freedom of one of us who was arrested in questionable manner, tortured, molested, harassed and detained by agents of government, you are hereby notified of the decision of the leadership of NANS to proceed on a nationwide protest.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have consulted and consolidated which yielded no desirable results in seeking the freedom of Mohammed, hence, the protest shall commence as follows: Monday, December 5, 2022, nationwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease note that our demonstration shall continue until he is released unconditionally,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
Mohammed was reportedly picked up by security operatives who traced him to Jigawa and brought him to Abuja in November.<\/p>\n
Justice Halilu Yusuf of the Federal Capital Territory High Court subsequently remanded Mohammed at the Suleja Correctional Centre in Niger State for allegedly damaging the reputation of the First Lady.<\/p>\n
Adamu\u2019s arrest has generated reactions on social media, with many Nigerians, including notable personalities, calling for his release.<\/p>\n
Barambu noted that NANS\u2019 protest would be against the First Lady and the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
