You are fat, call DSS to come and arrest me - Seun Kuti dares Aisha Buhari

Singer Seun Kuti has called the First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari "fat" in a video that has gone viral.

Kuti, who is a known social commentator made the comment after the release of Aminu Adamu, a student of the Federal University, Dutse, who was arrested for trolling the wife of the Nigerian President Twitter.

Adamu was arrested and remanded in the Suleja correctional facility in Niger State on Tuesday after he was charged to court by the police, according to his lawyer, C.K Agu.

Mr Adamu, a final year student, tweeted a photo of Mrs Buhari with a caption in Hausa which translates to: “Mama is feeding fat on poor people’s money.”

The tweet was posted on 9 June but Mr Adamu was arrested earlier this month when the tweet went viral.

Mr Agu told BBC Hausa Service that the student was charged to a court in Abuja but he pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The lawyer said they have made several efforts since 25, November to get the student released on bail but to no avail.

“Even in the court session yesterday, we notified the judge about the efforts made to have him released on bail, but we did not receive any reply from the police.
