Press Release 

Yobe Gov. Mai Mala Buni Orders Release of Detained Teenager

The Yobe state Governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni CON. has directed the immediate release of a teenager detained by the police for allegedly insulting the governor.

Governor Buni who is not aware of the arrest and detention, said it was grossly unnecessary to arrest anyone for insulting or criticising him.

"This is the price of leadership and we are fully conscious of it, therefore, l couldn't have ordered nor condoned the detention of anyone.

"Until someone drew my attention to it, l wasn't aware of his arrest and detention, l have now directed his immediate release from detention" Governor Buni said.

It is however important to note that although the Buni administration runs an open government, contributions and criticisms should be constructive and meaningful.

Social media users are also reminded to be responsive and responsible to respect the rights of everyone, political party, religious and socio-cultural differences most especially as the political campaigns are ongoing.

EARLIER REPORT 

The police in Yobe state have arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly insulting Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, on social media.
 
Garba Isa, the father of the minor, disclosed this when he came out to publicly demand the release of his son on Monday, December 19. According to Isa, his son was apprehended on December 11 in Nguru and later transferred to the State Investigation Division of the Nigeria Police Force in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.
 

“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'' Isa who is a laudry worker told Channels TV

 
Confirming the arrest, the state Commissioner of Police, Garba Haruna, said the minor is now in custody and will be charged to court when investigation is concluded.
 

“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.
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.” Garba was quoted as saying

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
