The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students has declared a nationwide protest to demand the release of a student of the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, Aminu Mohammed, who was arrested and sent to prison over a tweet on Aisha Buhari, wife of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

NANS President, Usman Barambu, in a statement obtained by The PUNCH on Thursday, noted the protest, which would commence on Monday, would be indefinite until Mohammed regained freedom.

NANS had earlier apologised to the First Lady while also calling for the student’s release. This not working, NANS said it had exhausted options of consultation and consolidation, and would thereby be confronting.

“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 NANS to proceed on a nationwide protest.

“We have consulted and consolidated which yielded no desirable results in seeking the freedom of Mohammed, hence, the protest shall commence as follows: Monday, December 5, 2022 nationwide.

“Please note that our demonstration shall continue until he is released unconditionally,” the statement said.

Gathered that Mohammed was reportedly picked up by security operatives who traced him to Jigawa and brought to him Abuja in November.

Justice Halilu Yusuf of the Federal Capital Territory High Court subsequently remanded Mohammed at the Suleja Correctional Centre in Niger State for allegedly damaging the reputation of the first Lady.

Adamu’s arrest has generated reactions on social media, with notable Nigerians calling for his release.

Barambu noted that NANS’ protest would be against the First Lady and the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba.

And he is smiling,they should use plier to plug out all those cow teeth of his

Let the useless boy suffer and die there. Evil cow

Jobless students!

After a long strike, the best they can come-up with is protest!

The Nigerian Armed Forces should be put on high alert, and ruthlessly deal with any student who go against the objectives of a protest.

Is it not this same guy who praised the lynching of an innocent lady because of a tweet.... just like Tinubu and Atiku..
Terrorists everywhere

I will pass.

Did NANS protest when Deborah was killed or was she not a student ?

Where was NANS when Deborah Samuel was murdered in cool blood & her remains burnt to ashes
What a NANS that cannot NANA.
That bigot of aminu bullied & defamed someone & should be made to face the law simple.
NANS should carry their misplaced protest to where it is needed, at least they should protest to FG to pay ASUU their demands?

kingmaster2009:


Just imagine the boy is one of your loved one ....your conscience is.dead

Imagine if Deborah was your sister.

You're sick.

Idiotic body! It is when somebody from the ruling region is being arrested they talk. Let the useless fowl rot in Jail. This country needs to be div*ded for better organization.

Police should arrest anyone disturbing the peace of people

Which kind of useless NANS cann't caution students under it's care when they are doing something far from common sense? How can somebody come online to ridicule and spoil somebody's integrity because of Google subscription or Facebook like? If he is not trained at home, I think he should be allowed to be trained outside. Which kind of freedom of speech or protest is that? Must we always protest for every nonsense? Although, there is no link to Op news; but generally; he should be allowed to face penalty for his action so he can learn from there

Protest because of terrorists and a suicide bomber from Yola.
