“Aisha Buhari Has No Right To Order The Arrest Of Any Nigerian” – Dalung Says
A former minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has taken a swipe at the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, over the arrest and torture of a final-year student of the Federal University Dutse, Aminu Mohammed.
Condemning the first lady’s action in a Facebook Live video on Tuesday, November 29, Dalung reminded the first lady that Nigerians didn’t elect President Muhammadu Buhari into the office for them to be oppressed.
Mr Dalung said:
“Let me condemn in categorical terms, the tyranny, the abuse of power, and the dictatorship that are coming out of the sanctuary of leadership in Nigeria, which is the Aso Rock.
“Disheartening reports of the deployment of security to kidnap innocent Nigerians by the wife of the president, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, beating them mercilessly, and handing them over to security to be detained, is a highly condemnable act by every right thinking human being all over the world.
“This is very disheartening and shameful. Aisha Buhari has no right to order for the arrest of any Nigerian. That she’s married to the president of Nigeria does not confer any advantage on her to take the laws into her own hands.”
Dalung calls on the police boss Dalung called on the Inspector General of Police to order an immediate investigation into the matter and invite her for questioning, assuring the victims that they would stand by them until Justice is served, Daily Nigerian reported.
”The security agencies holding these two people must release them within the next 24 hours. Failure to do this, we will, of course, employ all lawful means to enforce and expose all forces behind this,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has described as cruel and evil the arrest and detention of Aminu Adamu. CUPP spokesperson Ikenga Ugochinyere, in a statement on Wednesday, said Mrs Buhari does not have the right to order the arrest and torture of her critics. Ugochinyere accused Nigeria’s first lady of adopting the method of the former head of state Gen. Sani Abacha to deal with her critics.
Former minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, has dismissed rumours of his death. Dalung, who was sports minister from 2015 to 2019, recently announced the death of his son Nehemiah. The former minister who insisted that he is alive made this known on his Facebook page during a Facebook live. In reaction, many Nigerians used the opportunity to commiserate with him over the death of his son while praying for long life for him.
