“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.
