President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has reacted to the case
of Zainab Aliyu, the student incriminated in drug-related matters and being
detained by Saudi Arabian authorities.
Zainab Aliyu, a student of
Maitama Sule University, Kano, who travelled for Lesser Hajj in Dec. 2018 was
detained by the Saudi Arabia authorities for allegedly being in possession of a
banned substance.
Recall that President
Muhammadu Buhari has directed Mr Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice to immediately intervene in the case of
Zainab Aliyu.
Senior Special Assistant to President
Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora matters, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, made
this disclosure in a statement by her media aide,
Mr. Abdur-Rahman Balogun, on Monday.
“My office has been working with
the AGF as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in that regard.”
Reacting, Onochie claimed that
some Nigerians at the Airport deliberately planned and foisted pain on Zainab’s
family.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Onochie
wrote: “What Ms Zainab Aliyu and her family are going through now, cannot be
imagined. Horrendous!
“Disheartening is that some Nigerians
at an Airport deliberately planned and foisted this pain on Zainab. Evil
“Many Nigerians may have been
executed in this way. My prayers are with Zainab.”
