Although he was arrested on December 11, 2022, it came to the public knowledge on Monday, December 19 after the minor’s father, Garba Isa called on police authorities to release his son.
The minor was reportedly arrested in Nguru and later transferred to the State Investigation Division of the Nigeria Police Force in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.
Speaking to Channels Television via a telephone conversation, Isa condemned the attitude of his son.
The laundry worker appealed to the governor and the Commissioner of Police, Garba Haruna to release his son on passionate grounds.
“I regret what my son did. I am nobody, an ordinary laundry man, what my son (Umar) did was totally wrong, I appeal to Governor Mai Mala Buni and the police on passionate grounds to forgive my son and release him,” he said.
When contacted, the Commissioner of Police admitted that the suspect is in custody, saying when investigations are concluded he would be charged to the court.
“When we conclude our investigation, he will definitely be charged to court. People are using social media to insult and tarnish people’s character, the society needs to be sanitised,” the CP said.
“You cannot use social media and begin to post all sorts of things. There is law and order in Nigeria, whoever infringes on someone’s right will be punished.”

Na wah ooh. Oppressing the poor with their power. There's God ooh
ReplyDeleteThis was the same people that enabled everyone that could buy data in 2015 to call Goodluck and his wife unprintable names just for them to get into power.
DeleteI kept on condemning then on twitter and it was as if I was some alien or something... The chicken don reach house they no wan chop am.
I find it really appalling that young people will come on social media, abuse and insult their elders all in the name of some stupid rights they think they have. Whether you like your leaders or not, you can express yourself without using derogatory words.
Maybe some of these arrest will start making people think twice before they press "post"
He wants to pull crowd like the other one and cause pains for the parents. Let him enjoy himself there
ReplyDeleteMay God punish them with their wickedness 🥳
ReplyDeleteThis is the new trend for politicians😏😏

ReplyDeleteTruly, GEJ and Patience swallowed a lot of rubbish from the public inclusive of those who are currently in power. Now they want to stifle then use is the same SM.
ReplyDeleteyou can say that again, The kind of insult both got from the general public never made them to even arrest anyone not to talk more of court.
DeleteOmg
ReplyDeleteWell, the chicken has come home to roost abi how dem dey talk am again?
ReplyDeleteWhat will they call this stly now..is it abuse of power or what to be arresting children up and down..well na family matter make they settle themselves abeg..
ReplyDeleteSo what was the insult? What kind of insult requiring jail term for ten days cannot be disclosed publicly? Where is the screenshot of the alleged insult? Anybody going into public office will be criticized even harshly. It is important that harsh criticism is not being termed as an 'insult' as a means of imprisoning innocent ppl.
ReplyDeleteCan't find the screenshots.
DeleteIt's wrong to abuse people in authority online but let's see what he tweeted.
Good for them!
ReplyDeleteWetin concern me 🙄🙄
Not supporting the young man, but Mr Governor how many people you wan arrest if this gets out of hand?
ReplyDeleteI wish it will be made a law punishable with jail term and no fine ,abusing and bullying some people need to go to jail for their head and mouth to be correct ,16 yrs abusing somebody who is as old as his grandfather and we see nothing wrong about it until it happens to you ,is it the abuse that will give Nigeria good governance
ReplyDeleteNo one expects anything better than this from someone who spells his own name starting with a small letter

DeleteHahahahaha very useless comment
DeleteShebi the father was chanting sai Baba change. Let them enjoy the madness they brought because of stupidity
ReplyDeleteHow many people did GEJ and Dame Patience arrest?
ReplyDeleteHow many people did Donald Trump arrest?
Why arrest the same people you indoctrinate, keep in ignorance of Western education as well as poverty and ride on their votes to ascend to power?
To the arrested - this arrest trend now is the result of the choice of candidates you voted into power in the past election(s).
If you like vote according to tribal or religious bias instead of competency, uprightness and respect for the rule of law.
A bitter lesson for youths and masses in that region in particular and the country in general. There are only two classes of people - 'the rich and the poor ' , 'the rulers and the masses', 'the powerful and the weak'. There are no leaders in that country anyway because there has been no visionary leader after the Independence.
Freedom of speech is no longer free. Hmm
ReplyDelete16 years is a minor and should be sent to correctional center and not jail please.
