Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, has been accused of orchestrating the arrest and detention of a young woman identified as Maryam Bukar, who was reportedly detained after a video call of a romantic nature with the Nigerian president surfaced.

In a video obtained by SaharaReporters, a man speaking in Hausa alleged that Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, was involved in Bukar’s arrest and continued detention.
The man claimed that Bukar has been held for about 10 months following the controversy surrounding the video call. He further stated that Ribadu initially acknowledged the detention was unlawful and urged the woman to remain calm.

“Mallam Nuhu Ribadu is being accused of arresting this innocent woman unlawfully. But what happened?” the man asked in the video.
He continued, “Tinubu was allegedly making video calls to her. She showed me the video call between her and Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“She recorded the video call in order to have evidence, so that she would have proof. She showed it to me. Wait, I saw the video call.”

Providing further details, he said, “She did not record Tinubu naked; he was wearing a jellabiya, and it was a romantic-style conversation.” Jellabiya is a traditional long, loose-fitting garment worn in parts of North Africa, the Middle East, and the Horn of Africa.
The man claimed that the situation may have triggered jealousy within the Presidential household.

“We do not know whether Tinubu intended to make her a kind of ‘second First Lady,’ which may be why Oluremi is allegedly jealous,” he alleged.

He further stated, “Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser, had a young woman named Maryam Bukar arrested simply because she confronted Tinubu about wanting her.” According to the source, Maryam was first arrested and detained for days on the grounds that she recorded the alleged video call involving President Tinubu. “Whatever happened, Nuhu Ribadu arrested her for four days on the grounds that she recorded that video call of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said. He added that during that initial detention, Ribadu allegedly spoke with her and acknowledged that her arrest lacked legal basis.

“She called me; he sat down with her and told her to be patient, that her arrest was unlawful. He promised to give her and her family some money, but he did not fulfill that promise,” the man claimed.

The source further revealed that after her initial release, a petition was written regarding the matter.

“She called me and I wrote this petition. Now Ribadu has had her arrested again, and she has been detained for more than eight months since the 20th of June,” he alleged.
The case, according to him, has been formally lodged with the National Human Rights Commission.
“For over eight months now, she has been in detention. Her case has been registered with the National Human Rights Commission,” he said. The man called on the National Security Adviser to address the allegations and secure her release.

“We are calling on Nuhu Ribadu to immediately release Maryam Bukar or respond to this call,” he stated.

Meanwhile, in a petition dated April 4, 2025, addressed to the National Human Rights Commission by DATTIJO Multi-Purpose Business General Contract, Merchandise Trading, Supply & Distribution of General Goods, a complaint was lodged against the National Security Adviser. The petition was also copied to the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. The petition, titled “Petition and Complaint Against the NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, for Allegedly Giving an Illegal Order to Nigerian Military Personnel to Unlawfully Arrest Hajiya Maryam Bukar”, alleged that Nuhu Ribadu ordered the Nigerian military to unlawfully and forcefully arrest Maryam Bukar, described as a close associate of President Bola Tinubu. The petition further alleged that she was detained for four days simply because Alhaji Ibrahim Kabir Masari reportedly sent the NSA screen recordings of her video call with the President.

According to the petitioner, upon reviewing the video clip, nothing offensive or illegal was found in its content. It was also stated that the commando-style manner in which Maryam Bukar was arrested tarnished her reputation within her community and left her experiencing anxiety, depression, and psychological trauma. Additionally, the National Human Rights Commission, with reference number C/2025/CPR/746/HQ, acknowledged receipt of the petition on April 14, 2025.

In the acknowledgment letter signed by Faith Okeosisi on behalf of the Executive Secretary, the Commission stated that the complaint had been duly registered as C/2025/CPR/746/HQ and was receiving attention. It added that the petitioner would be informed of the outcome of the investigation in due course. The acknowledgment letter read in part: “The National Human Rights Commission is in receipt of your complaint dated 4th April, 2025, on the above subject matter.

"The complaint has been registered as C/2025/CPR/746/HQ and it is receiving attention.

"You shall be informed of the outcome of our investigation on the matter in due course.”

I can imagine the type and quality of oil used in frying this plantain.

callthefred:
Can we connect please? I need some bags of pepper to extract seeds from and now that is cheaper is best time to do that. Thanks.

Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to just buy the seeds directly than extracting?

dalass:
Wow, that's amazing. I don't know if I can be perfect enough to use that preservation technique.... I had tried to some preservation stuffs before but I no too sabi the thing

Sun dry and rain will still beat the thing

Here in Bauchi, it is almost guaranteed we no go see single drop of rain from ending October till around March/April. And that is when the sun is scorching hot and the wind dry. It doesn't take a week for them to get crispy dry over here.

dalass:
Wow.

If not for NEPA wahala, na to buy pepper/ tomatoes stuff, blend and keep till the next 6 months

We sun dry our scotch bonnet and bell pepper (I have a bag of each currently undergoing the process) and store them for when they're out of season. All you need to do when it's time to use them, is to fetch and put in warm water and they spring back to life in few minutes. For tomatoes, it's boiling and home canning in airtight Bama bottles and store. It last up to a year.

tetralogyfallot:
wow

Yeah. I bought the bag of scotch bonnet for N11k from Dass LGA, paid waybill of N1k to Bauchi town.

tetralogyfallot:

While bag of scotch bonnet is N11k in Bauchi. Tattase/Shambo is N15k though. They're in season.

tetralogyfallot:

tetralogyfallot:

skywalker240:
Well the Lexus ES doesn't

ES200 does

skywalker240:
What kind of question is that?


Does Camry XLE come with 4 cylinder engines

Yes it does

Pootle:
no 4 cylinder was made for lexus

That's not entirely true. It never came with one in the USA but outside the US, the first gen IS200 came with 4 cylinders. Even the ES200 (Asia and Europe) came equipped with i4s. The less popular NX200 (turbocharged) and UX200 (hybrid) are 4 cylinders.

Lexusgs430:
Support ends October 2027..... (5 years support)......

Thank you. I don't think it's worth buying in 2026 if someone has the wherewithal for a more recent one. Does the pixel 8 also have just 5 years? And I'm on a limited budget oo

Pls how many years of updates and support does the Pixel 7 pro has? It is still worth buying in 2026?

smartkester:

Haba na bro.. Boundary Commission is rather popular. What will you say about agencies like National Senior Citizens Centre and Environmental Health Officers Registration Council?

Liftme:

Their salary is small, entry is about 130-150k if you don't have any FG job at all, you can go for it... They don't have any allowances too.

It's a research institute so they'll definitely be on CONRAISS which I think the entry level monthly pay is a bit above the figures you mentioned.

Kingdemu:
Top notch

ok I'll call

Sonoyom:
This mentality, lolzzzz

Unfortunately, that's our sad reality. My state Governor has been all over the news last year telling the general public that he'll recruit 10,000 into the state civil service. He was on Channels TV last month reiterating it and assuring candidates how transparent the entire process is ongoing.

A special recruitment portal was launched mid last year. Over 100k people applied, went to court to swear affidavits and get the court's stamp on their printouts, paid money and resubmitted stamped documents. Over 40,000 applicants were informed online first week of this month that they had “qualified.” They are currently at their various LGAs undergoing credentials verification as I'm typing this.

This morning , I happened to drop by my father-in-law’s office and met him and few others busy compiling and processing lists of slot candidates submitted by fellow politicians. These were allocated slots reportedly approved by the Governor himself for them. And by Allah, many of the names on the list never applied on the official portal at all cos I overheard a phone call. That is the Nigeria of today.
