Wife of the President of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari has withdrawn a case of defamation against Aminu Mohammed, a student of Federal University, Dutse.

The first lady has been under pressure since news of Mohammed’s arrest broke last week.

In the alleged offensive tweet, Adamu, who is studying Environmental Management, posted a fuller picture of the first lady with a caption in Hausa saying, “Mama is feeding fat on poor people’s money.”

The tweet was posted on June 8, 2022. After nearly two weeks in detention and alleged torture, he was arraigned on Tuesday before Justice Yusuf Halilu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, where he pleaded not guilty and was remanded at Suleja prison in Niger State.
