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”
