A High Court in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Tuesday ordered the remand in prison custody, Aminu Muhammad, a student of Federal University Dutse (FUD), over his tweet on Aisha Buhari.
An indigene of Azare in Bauchi state, Muhammad is a final-year student at the Department of Environmental Management.
It would be recalled that the student was arrested by the police over a tweet that appeared to mock Aisha.
The tweet, which was posted in Hausa in June 2022, reads: “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi,” which translated to mean “Mama has eaten poor people’s money and is now full”.
According to Muhammad’s lawyer, C.K. Agu, the remand order was issued when he was arraigned before the court.
Agu said, "He is currently being held in Suleja prison before the bail application is heard.”
