CUPP Flays Arrest Of Student Critic Of Aisha Buhari

The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP has decried the arrest of Aminu Muhammad, the student critic of First Lady Aisha Buhari lamenting that he has been made to miss his exams on account of the arrest.

While lamenting that Aisha Buhari may have adopted the style of some past infamous leaders like Sani Abacha the group promised to extend legal services to the detained student to enable him press for his fundamental human rights.

GWG.NG reports that Aminu Muhammad, a final year student of the Federal University, Dutse was arrested after criticizing the First Lady on twitter of supposedly getting fat at the expense of the nation.

Reacting to the development in a statement, the spokesman of the opposition parties under the aegis of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), Ikenga Ugochinyere, argued that the First Lady does not have the right to order the arrest and torture of her critics.

The CUPP official said: “Opposition political parties are using this medium to call on President Buhari to order the arrest of all officers involved in the detention and torture of the boy who criticised Aisha. We want the DSS and the police to immediately release the boy because the First Lady does not have the right to arrest her critics. It is regrettable that Aisha is using the cruel and outdated Abacha method on critics with the kidnap of the boy. She is now using Aso Rock with her security to torture opponents.

“Besides adopting the Abacha method, Aisha is also behaving like Mugabe’s wife with the alleged abduction of critics into Aso Rock. The government and security agencies must release the boy from his illegal detention so that he can join his colleagues to continue his examination. The CUPP is offering free legal support to the detained student to enforce his fundamental human rights to freedom of expression and freedom of movement and fight his illegal detention.

“The First Lady and other leaders should stop their reckless and naked display of power and always follow the constitution in seeking redress if they feel they are wronged,” the CUPP said in its condemnation of the student critic of Aisha Buhari.
