For allegedly tweeting that Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari “eaten poor people’s money” in a now controversial tweet, a student of Federal University Dutse (FUD), Aminu Muhammad has been remanded in prison.

BIGPEN NIGERIA (www.bigpenngr.com) understands Muhammad has been sent to a Suleja prison pending the hearing of his bail application.

Muhammad, who hails from Azare in Bauchi state, is a final-year student at the department of environmental management.

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.”

Aminu’s tweet, accompanied by a photo of Aisha, loosely translates as “Mama has eaten poor people’s money and is now full”

According to BBC Hausa, C.K. Agu, Muhammad’s lawyer, said he was remanded at a hearing on Tuesday at a court in the federal capital territory (FCT), pending another sitting on his bail application.

“He is currently being held in Suleja prison before the bail application is heard,” the lawyer was quoted as saying.
