Aisha Buhari Vs Aisha Yesufu: Twitter Fight Escalates Over Detention Of Final Year Varsity Student

A fight was intensifying on twitter late on Sunday after supporters of First Lady Aisha Buhari took space against a string of attack against her following the detention of a final year student of the the Department of Environmental Management and Toxicology, Federal University Dutse, Jigawa State, Aminu Muhammed over a critical post against Mrs Buhari.

GWG.NG reports that social activist, Aisha Yesufu, had taken to twitter to slam the s slammed Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, for allegedly ordering the arrest and detention of Aminu Muhammed over an alleged defamatory social media post.

Muhammed, had in June tweeted in Hausa “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi” loosely translated as “the mother has gotten fatter by eating masses’ money.”

Aminu’s tweet it was gathered was to ventilate against the prolonged strike by university lecturers.

Sources said that Aminu was picked up by operatives of the Department of State Services on November 8 on campus and was reportedly beaten up following his arrest at about 12:00 noon.

Responding to the arrest, Aisha Yesufu tweeted thus:

While several Nigerians took to support her with an assertion that the First Lady may have overstepped her bounds, several supporters subsequently came forward to back the arrest of the student.

GWG.NG gathered the reactions:

I don’t know how defamation has become freedom of speech, it’s a choice if you decide not to take action against anyone who defamed you. She acted within her right as a free citizen by reporting to police, while the school had already assisted the poor boy with an attorney.

Arinze Onyema @ArinzeOnyema2 @denverind @AishaYesufu

Who do will report Buhari to for bad governance. I weep for Nigerians, people happy with their oppressors

Badamosi Tunde @denverind @ArinzeOnyema2 and @AishaYesufu

Go to court it’s your right.

Akawu M.E @DivineDr1 @denverind

Can you even listen to yourself? If it’s defamation as you said, sending the DSS to arrest him is a breech of the law. The court should give that order but we are in a lawless country.

Dr Azico Strange @DrAzicoLoco

Do they know law? that’s why Nigeria doesn’t have head, operating like 200m people with autonomous states.

Josiah Omaduvie @uomaduvie

Is defamation a duty of police, police and military? Why didn’t she did him for defamation? The poor citizen supporting the oppression of another poor citizen.

Aisha Buhari is someone’s mother like you and no mother deserve such disrespect from anyone. We hope DSS will just flock him very well and release him back to school.

U are from place, come home and contest election let’s see how relevant you are and stop this initial gra gra. Charity begins at home. Aisha Buhari is changing lives in her home and you are here asking who is Aisha Buhari. Na see finish dey ur head.

Kabir Usman Misali @KabirMisali

Aisha Buhari is president’s wife. The aggrieved citizen can talk about her. They can even chat with their friends about her. However, the talk shouldn’t pass the ambit of the law. Whoever transverses the law, it will teach them a lesson.
