Police officials in Yobe State, acting on the orders of Governor Mai Mala Buni have arrested and detained a 16-year-old boy, Umar Isa, on the grounds of allegedly insulting the governor on social media, calling him a power-hungry politician.
The teenager had been picked up on December 11 in Nguru and later transferred to the State Investigation Division of the Nigeria Police Force in Damaturu.
Garba Isa, the father of the minor, has however demanded the release of his son.
“I deeply regret what my son did. I am a nobody, just an ordinary laundry man, what my son (Umar) did was wrong, I appeal to Governor Mai Mala Buni and the police on passionate grounds to forgive my son and release him,” Isa had told Channels Television.
Meanwhile, while confirming the arrest, the state Commissioner of Police, Garba Haruna, remarked that the minor is currently in custody and will be charged in court when investigations are concluded.
“You cannot use social media to start posting all sorts of things. There is law and order in Nigeria and whoever infringes on someone’s right will be duly punished.”
