Atiku Abubakar reacts to the arrest of five men in Maiduguri, Borno, who are reportedly taken into custody for wearing “Tinubu Must Go” T-shirts. Atiku urges authorities to release them, arguing that peaceful protest should not be treated as a criminal matter.
According to reporting, Atiku’s camp criticizes the arrests and describes a clash between his supporters and police. Police, in contrast, say the T-shirts and related activities amount to incitement or could lead to public disturbance. The outlets frame the dispute as a disagreement over whether the attire and protest messaging cross legal or public-order limits, particularly in the context of ongoing political tensions.
Both sources align on the core details: five Nigerians are arrested in Maiduguri, Atiku Abubakar publicly responds, and the disagreement centers on how authorities characterize the “Tinubu Must Go” protest.
