The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued a two days ultimatum to Inspector General of Police Usman Alkali Baba and First Lady Her Excellency, Aisha Buhari for the release of Aminullah Adamu of Federal University Dutse or face a nationwide protest by the students.
The Northwest Treasurer of NANS, comrade Bashir Suleiman Limanci announced this during a press conference in Dutse, Jigawa state Capital.
He said the Association is not in support of the unnecessary Social Media posting made by Aminullah Adamu in which the first lady felt offended.
Comrade Limanci however stated that the union has equally condemned the alleged unlawful arrest, detention, and beating of Aminullah on the order of the first lady.
The Association explained that Aminullah who is a final year student of Federal University Dutse is about to start writing his final examination in the next five days, “NANS is calling on security and all parties involved in the arrest to unconditionally release him and also avoid any act that may spoil or temper his academic activities.
“We are very much concern about his safety and academic activities, so after the elapsing of the two days ultimatum, the association in collaboration with other civil societies, students, and trade unions, the human right group will use all necessary measures to ensure his release/including taken to the street for a peaceful demonstration.”
While contacted on the arrest of Aminullah Adamu, the spoke person of the Federal University Dutse, Comrade Abdullahi Anako said the student was arrested on 8th November 2022.
Abdullahi Anako added that the university authorities have spoken to the parent of Aminullah who has already engaged the services of a lawyer to handle the matter and they are hopeful for an amicable resolution soon.
