The National Association of Nigerian Students’ leadership has called for a national strike to demand the release of Aminu Mohammed, a student at the Federal University in Dutse, Jigawa State, who was detained and imprisoned over a tweet about Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Usman Barambu, the president of NANS, said in a statement on Thursday that the demonstration, which would start on Monday, will last indefinitely until Mohammed is freed.
NANS declared that it had used all of its options for consultation and consolidation and would now address the situation differently.
