Nigerian First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has withdrawn the case against the final year student of the Federal University, Dutse, Aminu Mohammed.
This is coming after pressure and condemnation by activists, Amnesty International, the National Association of Nigerian Students, and other citizens.
Punch reports that the prosecution counsel Fidelis Ogbobe, while withdrawing the case on behalf of the First Lady said, the Aisha, being the mother of the nation, has decided to withdraw the case, following the intervention of “well-meaning Nigerians.”
Moving a motion for the withdrawal of the case, Ogbobe cited section 108 subsection 2(a) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
Justice Yusuf Halilu of the FCT High Court commended the First Lady for withdrawing the case.
Halilu, while issuing the release warrant, called on parents to always monitor their children to avoid recurrence.
According to a police report, Muhammed was arrested at Federal University, Dutse, on November 18, 2022, after Aisha Buhari instructed a team of police detectives to track him down.
The Presidency had reportedly earlier barred visitors from visiting inmates at the Suleja Correctional Centre, Niger State, following the arrest of Aminu.
