Umar claimed that he saw the offensive message while going through various goodwill messages sent to him by people on his 55th birthday on October 25, 2021.

“Abdulmumini was consequently arrested; he confessed during interrogation to have sent the e-mail. He has committed an offence under Section 24 (1) A & B of the Cybercrime Act, 2015,” he said

The suspect, who was paraded at the police command headquarters, Katsina, on Tuesday, said he never meant to insult the governor’s aide with the message he sent to the aide on the occasion of his 55th birthday.

He also pleaded for forgiveness and promised never to do it again.

He said in Hausa;

“It is true I sent the email to him, but my intention was not to deride or defame him.”
