AISHA BUHARI, THE ECOWAS YOUTH REPRESENTATIVE, REQUESTS THE RELEASE OF THE STUDENT.

Aminu Mohammed, a student at the Federal University in Dutse, Jigawa State, was detained by the police after posting on Twitter that she was “feeding fat on poor citizens’ money,” according to the office of the Economic Community of West African States Youth Ambassador, Richard Solomon. Solomon has called for Mohammed’s immediate release.

Citizens have the right to criticize the government without fear, according to the ECOWAS youth ambassador. “Citizens should have the right to criticize the actions of the government on social media. In actuality, actions taken by the government to obstruct constructive criticism are a violation of constitutionally granted rights. Criticism is something that keeps a country’s democracy authentic to itself.

He continued by saying that the young man’s arrest and incarceration were unlawful, harsh violations of his fundamental human rights.

OYETOLA CREATED A COMMITTEE FOR ADELEKE TO REVIEW CHIEFTAINCY AFFAIRS, PROMOTIONS, AND APPOINTMENTS.

He stated that, regardless of their status in society, “Human rights are holy and sacrosanct and must not be trampled upon by anybody. The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) reaffirms the aforementioned tenets of the United Nations Charter on Human Rights when it states in Section 35 that everyone has the right to their personal liberty, unless it is restricted or curtailed by the application of the law after following the proper procedures, such as following a court order or judgment.

It is fairly obvious that there was neither a legitimate reason for the arrest nor the implementation of due process, in accordance with the meaning of this fundamental obligation.

According to Solomon, the ECOWAS Youth Council was created to lessen and promptly address the difficult difficulties facing West African youth, and as a result, the group was ready to struggle and protest tenaciously until Mohammed was freed.
