The Nigeria Police Force has intensified its crackdown on Aisha Buhari’s critics by arresting three people in lieu of a woman known to be residing in Saudi Arabia.
According to a Daily Nigerian report, the newly arrested suspects were named: Salisu Isyaku, Salisu Habib, and Zubairu Ahmed in lieu of a female suspect, Kaltim Ahmed.
It was gathered that the three “suspects” were arrested in December 2022 and have since been detained in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, without no access to reach their families or lawyers.
Ms. Ahmed, who is a fiery irredentist had harshly criticized Fulani dominance of Hausa in audio messages that had been shared on WhatsApp and other social media platforms while also lambasting Mrs. Buhari for ordering the arrest and being involved in the brutalization of a final-year Nigerian student.
These were some of the things she said in the audio: “Your husband deceived us, lying and crying. It is good that we elected him and that his election had exposed all the Fulanis in Nigeria.”
“Your government is silent about the killing of Hausa people by Fulani. The southerners have rained all manner of abuses against you, but you are silent. Now you are here intimidating Northerners,”
Further reports revealed that detectives from the Force Intelligence Bureau, FIB, at the force headquarters had tracked the trio and apprehended them over having “contact” with the principal suspect.
Meanwhile, the spokesman for the Nigerian police, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had yet to respond to an inquiry on the matter at the time of this report.
