Former aide sues Aisha Buhari, demands N100m for alleged detention

Zainab Kassim, a former Special Assistant to the President in the Office of the First Lady, has sued Aisha Buhari for allegedly violating her fundamental human rights and is seeking N100 million in damages from her and other defendants in the case.

The Inspector General of Police and the Department of State Services are the other respondents in the matter.

Aisha Buhari allegedly ordered several DSS personnel to kidnap Kassim and take her to the presidential villa, where she was said to have been attacked, dehumanized, and verbally tortured by the First Lady with the assistance of DSS and police officers in exchange for erasing her social media posts.
