A final-year student of Federal University, Dutse, Aminu Muhammad that was arrested by the police on November 18 over a tweet that appeared to mock Mrs. Aisha Buhari has been released from Prison custody.

The tweet, which was posted on June 8, reads: โSu mama anchi kudin talkawa ankoshi.โ


He had been arraigned before Justice Yusuf Halilu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, where he pleaded not guilty and was remanded at Suleja prison in Niger State.
Aminu was charged with Cybercrime, Cybersquatting, Computer Related Forgery, Conspiracy and Criminal Breach of Trust.
