Aisha Buhari Mum As Student Critic, Aminu Muhammad Goes To Prison

First Lady  Aisha Buhari has continued to keep sealed lips even as it emerged on Wednesday that Aminu Muhammad, a student of Federal University Dutse (FUD) who accused her of growing fat on poor peoples’ money has been remanded in prison.

Muhammad, who hails from Azare in Bauchi state, is a final-year student at the department of environmental management.

Recall that the student was arrested by the police over a tweet that appeared to mock Aisha.

The tweet, which was posted in Hausa in June 2022, reads: “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi.”

Muhammad’s tweet, accompanied by a photo of Aisha, loosely translates as “Mama has eaten poor people’s money and is now full”.

According to BBC Hausa, C.K. Agu, Muhammad’s lawyer, said the order for his remand was given on Tuesday when he was arraigned before a high court in the federal capital territory (FCT).

“He is currently being held in Suleja prison before the bail application is heard,” the lawyer representing Aminu over the case with Aisha Buhari was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, Muhammad’s arrest has elicited sharp criticism, while the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has apologised to Aisha Buhari over the tweet.

“We want to, on behalf of all the Nigerian students, tender our unreserved apology to the first lady, Aisha Buhari, for the action of Mohammed which might have caused her and her family pains,” NANS said in a statement on Tuesday.

“However, as leaders and public office holders, we must overlook some criticisms if we want to really forge ahead and do the right thing.”
