On social media, a 16-year-old boy was arrested for allegedly insulting Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni.

Although he was arrested on December 11, 2022, the arrest became public on Monday after the minor’s father, Garba Isa, requested that police release his son.

According to Channels Television, the minor was arrested in Nguru and later transferred to the Nigeria Police Force’s State Investigation Division in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.

Isa, speaking to Channels Television over the phone, condemned his son’s attitude.

On emotional grounds, the laundry worker petitioned the governor and Commissioner of Police, Garba Haruna, to release his son.

“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 confirmed that the suspect is in custody and that he will be charged in court once the investigation is completed.

“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.”
