The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, or SERAP, has threatened the Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari with legal action.
If Aminu Mohammed, a student at Federal University in Dutse, Katsina, is not released unconditionally, SERAP has threatened to take the government to court.
Mohammed was allegedly arrested, jailed, and tortured while under the supervision of President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife.
He was apprehended after making a nasty Twitter statement on Mrs Buhari.
He had tweeted in Hausa saying “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi”, meaning “Mama has eaten poor people’s money and is now full”, followed by an attached picture of the First Lady.
Mohammed was arrested after his tweet and allegedly transported to Aso Rock, where he was tortured. He has since been arraigned in court.
SERAP, on the other hand, has urged the Federal Government to put an end to the student’s fake trial.
The organization called the critic a “prisoner of conscience” in a series of tweets.

According to SERAP: “BREAKING: The Buhari administration must end the sham trial of Aminu Muhammad, a student of Federal University, Dutse who is reportedly remanded in prison allegedly for criticising the first lady on Twitter. Aminu is a prisoner of conscience and must be immediately released.
“The Buhari administration must immediately and unconditionally release Aminu Muhammad, a student of the Federal University, Dutse who is reportedly arrested over a post on Twitter allegedly criticizing the first lady. We’ll see in court if he’s not immediately released.”
