Aminu Muhammed, a student at the Federal University in Dutse, Jigawa State, was detained, arrested, and placed on remand after criticising Aisha Buhari on Twitter.

As previously reported, Muhammed, a final-year student in the Department of Environmental Management and Toxicology, tweeted in June 2022 that Mrs. Buhari had gained weight after participating in the looting of the country’s meagre resources while the masses suffered under her husband’s rule.

The first lady’s frequent trips to Dubai are well-known.

Posted in Hausa, the tweet reads, “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi.”

The tweet’s loose translation is “Mama has eaten poor people’s money and is now full,” and it was posted alongside a photo of Mrs. Buhari.

His friends claim that he wrote the post out of frustration with the protracted nationwide university strike.
