Aminu Adamu, Aisha Buhari
Mixed reactions have trailed the new development which showed that the detained student of the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, Aminu Adamu, supported the gruesome killing of Deborah Samuel.
Recall that Deborah, a female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education was burnt to death by a mob of Muslims over the blasphemy of Prophet Mohammed.
In a recent tweet that surfaced on Thursday morning, Adamu posted a picture of a t-shirt with Deborah’s picture on it, writing in Hausa, ‘Duk Wanda yasa wannan rigar ah Bauchi sai munchi uwarsa’, which means “Anyone that wears this shirt in Bauchi, we will deal with them”.
This tweet sparked several reactions from Nigerians clamouring for his release, in which some of the tweeps expressed that his arrest is an act of karma.
Recall that Adamu was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) over his statement on the First Lady, Aisha Buhari’s weight.
Here are some of the reactions gathered from Twitter:
@DavidHundeyin wrote, “l earnestly apologise for retweeting the appeal to free this fellow. May he remain inside that cell for as long as
Deborah’s family is denied justice, plus some extra time for accrued interest. Allah ya kara masa nauyin kasa.“
@Victorisrael_ wrote, “So Aminu supported the murder of Deborah? Laughed at Deborah’s last minute cry for help. Cheered on Deborah’s killers while they added more fuel and tyres. Aisha Buhari, on behalf of every Nigerian we ask you to carry on! You’ve been chosen by karma to serve Aminu his cold juice!”
@SavvyRinu wrote, “Supporting the injustice against Aminu because he threatened people about the death of Deborah is not “Karma.” Injustice is injustice, whether it happens to the people, who you think deserves it or not. Human rights are inalienable.”
@firstladyship wrote, “Aminu rejoiced over Deborah’s death. What kind of indoctrination is that? Why inherit the hate of your
Forefathers? Until Nigeria happens to u, u won’t realize how crazy that jungle is. I hope he learn from this? Karma, Religion & Tribalism are weapons fashioned against u, only.”
@Elkrosmediahub wrote, “Aminu’s foolish reaction to the gruesome murder of Deborah isn’t an excuse for what the First Lady did to
Him tho. Just putting it out there.”
@Nkemchor wrote, “Deborah was a young woman with a promising future and DID NOT Deserve to die. Knowing Aminu’s stance on that issue now it’s difficult to feel empathy for him. I hope we eventually reach that point where we understand that the evil in Nigeria doesn’t know tribe or religion.” (Daily Independent: Text, Excluding Headline)
