NANS Suspends Planned Protest Over Arrest of Aminu Adamu By Aisha Buhari After His Release.
The National Association of Nigerian Students, also known as NANS, has suspended its nationwide protest in order to call for the release of Aminu Adamu Mohammed, who was detained by security personnel following the publication of a tweet that was critical of Aisha Buhari, the wife of the country’s president. The tweet in question was directed at Mrs. Buhari.
The protest was automatically suspended after the release of Aminu.
Remember that Aminu, a student at the Federal University in Dutse, Jigawa State, was picked up by security officers and hauled away to Abuja last week because of comments he made about the weight of Aisha.
On Tuesday, he appeared before the Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court No. 14, where he was subsequently remanded to custody after the hearing.
The leadership of NANS, which was moved by the incident, released a statement through its president, Usman Umar Barambu, announcing that a statewide demonstration will take place on Monday, December 5.
In the statement, it was stated that the demonstration, which would be directed against the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, and the wife of the President, Aisha Mohammed Buhari, would continue until the student is released without conditions.
The statement reads, ” Sequel to the exhaustion of every option available to us before confrontation in seeking the freedom of one of us, who was arrested in a questionable manner, tortured, molested, harassed and detained by agents of the government, you are hereby notified of the decision of the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students to proceed on a nationwide protest.
“We have consulted and consolidated and neither yielded desirable result in seeking the freedom of Aminu Adamu Mohammed, student of the Federal University of Dutse, hence, the protest will commence as follow:
“Monday 5th, December 2022, nationwide protest. Please note that the demonstration shall continue until he is released unconditionally.
“The protest is against the Inspector General of Police Usma Alkali Baba and the wife of the president, Aisha Mohammed Buhari.”
