Amnesty calls for release of student held for accusing Aisha Buhari of feeding fat on masses’ money
1. Amnesty International calls for an immediate and unconditional release of Aminu Adamu Muhammed — a 23–year old student of Federal University Dutse who was arrested on 8 November 2022 at midnight by security operatives suspected to be DSS operatives, over a tweet deemed to be demeaning to the person of the first lady of Nigeria Aisha Buhari.
2. Amnesty International strongly condemns the arrest of Aminu. His family and friends alleged that he was held incommunicado and subjected to severe beating, torture and other forms of ill-treatment.
3. Since his arrest neither his family nor his lawyers have had access to him.
4. There are strong suspicions that Aminu is being held in an unknown location in Abuja by Nigerian security operatives. Amnesty International calls on the authorities to release him from unlawful detention and ensure that all those suspected of torture and other violations against him are brought to justice.
