A media aide to former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has been reportedly remanded in prison for criticizing the wife of incumbent governor, Fatima Ahmad Aliyu, for spraying dollars at her birthday party held recently.
According to an X user with the handle @Sarki_Sultan, the victim, Shafi’u Tureta, was arrested after the governor’s wife wrote a petition to the police alleging character assassination and defamation of her character by posting a video of her and other guests spraying the wads of dollars at the party.
The video had reportedly stirred up the internet as Nigerians lamented the alleged waste of resources amid the country’s ongoing economic downturn.
