The Katsina State Governor, Aminu
Bello Masari, has been given 48 hours by the Arewa Youths Council, AYC, to
release a former student union leader, Ibrahim Bature or face a court case.
Bature is currently in detention
for alleged hate speech.
The ultimatum was contained in a
statement signed by its president, Comrade Bello Balo and made available to
newsmen.
The AYC warned that they would
shut down the state if he fails to release Bature as they are ready to mobilize
their members to Katsina state within the time frame.
Bature was allegedly arrested
over the comment he made about the governor seeking foreign loan.
The AYC statement said, “On
August 29th 2017, Gov.Masari charged the young fellow to the Katsina magistrate
court 1 with some frivolous allegations bordering on offences yet to be
obtained by this report and he has since been reminded in prison custody, and
effort to bring the matter again after it was first adjourned to another date
for hearing has not been successful as the magistrate keep on adjourning the
date just to suffer the suspect for unknown reason.
“Ibrahim Bature a former student
union leader from university of Maiduguri who holds masters of science degree
with specialisation in animal physiology from the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria
and launched his gubernatorial aspiration for 2019 in June this year which was
tagged ‘time for the youths’
“We in the Arewa Youth Council
see his detention as a move by the governor to crush his rivals early enough to
clear his way for safe return to Katsina Government house come 2019.”
