FIJ
On Thursday morning, FIJ published a report exposing how Aisha Buhari, Nigeria’s First Lady, harassed and assaulted her staff and innocent Nigerians with the help of the police and the Department of State Services (DSS).
The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari has a track record of human rights violations and abuse of power she constitutionally does not possess. This runs in the Buhari family. Since assuming office in 2015, members of the family have used Nigeria’s security agencies to detain and harass people they were displeased with.
FIJ looks at three cases that gained media attention.
FOR NAMING DOG ‘BUHARI’, POLICE ARREST, DETAIN MAN
On August 13, 2016, the Ogun State police arrested Joe Chinakwe, a 40-year-old, for naming his dog after the president.
Chinakwe said he admired the president and had previously named two of his dogs after past presidents of South Africa, Nelson Mandela; and USA, Barrack Obama.
