NANS plans nationwide protest against Aisha Buhari over student’s tweet

-

 

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, said it will embark on a nationwide protest over Aminu Mohammed, a student of the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa, who was remanded by court after criticising the First Lady Aisha Buhari  on Twitter.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the president of NANS, Usman Barambu, announced plans for a massive protest to be held across the country on Monday, December 5, 2022, to emphasize the students’ demand.

The NANS president also called for the Federal University Dutse student’s unconditional release. 

Barambu denounced Mohammed’s detention for allegedly making a derogatory post about Mrs. Aisha Buhari, the president’s wife.

“Sequel to the exhaustion of all options available to us before confrontation in seeking the freedom of one of us who was arrested in questionable manner, tortured, molested, harassed and detained by agents of government, you are hereby notified of the decision of the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students to proceed on a nationwide protest,” the NANS president said in a memo to the organs of the association.

“We have consulted and consolidated and neither yielded desirable results in seeking the freedom of AMINU ADAMU MUHAMMED, student of the Federal University Dutse hence the protest shall commence as follows: Monday 5th December, 2022 Nationwide.”

Barambu made it clear that the protest was directed at both Aisha, Buhari and Usman Baba, the IGP, on until the student is released.

Recall Muhammed was remanded to the Suleja Correctional Center in Niger State for cyberstalking by Justice Halilu Yusuf of the Federal Capital Territory High Court.

President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has claimed that the West and various international monetary lenders keep Africa in continuous poverty. Speaking at the World Bank’s International Development Association summit for African Heads of state, held in Nairobi, Kenya, Museveni took a bold swipe at world leaders saying that most of Africa’s problems predicted over 60 years ago were a result of philosophical, ideological, and strategic economic mistakes. He claimed that a fundamental African problem is that aid from the World Bank and other Western bodies was majorly for profiteering. “The crisis which is in Africa today is because of philosophical, ideological, and strategic economic mistakes which we have been talking about since the 1960s. It is not an accident when you see the crisis in many African countries, the collapse of States. We predicted this in the 1960s – philosophical, ideological, and strategic mistakes. I don’t have time to amplify each one but I was very happy to hear the...
