Investigations so far revealed that the student, Aminu Adamu Mohammed, was taken in by the Police, contrary to reports in sections of the media that he was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to findings, the Bauchi-born Mohammed is a student of Environmental Management at the federal university.
A highly-placed source, who spoke in confidence on the development, said: “The suspect, who is currently with the Police, is from Bauchi State, North East Nigeria.
“He is, indeed, a 500-level student of Federal University, Dutse, the capital of Jigawa State, whose course of study is
Environmental Management.
“Further findings showed that the young man was apprehended on 18th November 2022, about 3pm at his Block B Shekarau Angyau Hostel by Police from Koforidua, Wuse 2 Division, Abuja.”
In the June 8, 2022, tweet, Mr Muhammed chastised Ms Buhari in Hausa: “Su mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi”, which could be translated as “the mother has gotten fatter by eating masses’ money.” Mr Muhammed’s friends said he made the post because he was frustrated about the prolonged strike by universities across the country. The strike, which started in early 2022, ended last month after nine months.
From a near-athletic build when her husband was seeking office in 2015, Mrs Buhari’s stature has recently ballooned, fueling speculation at a point that she might be ill or pregnant. She denied both claims.
