Borno Youths March in Maiduguri Wearing 'Tinubu Must Go' Shirts After Five Arrested

saharareporters.com —

Dozens of youths in Maiduguri, Borno State, demonstrated Saturday wearing "Tinubu Must Go" T-shirts, days after five men were arrested and arraigned for the same message. The five men, charged with criminal conspiracy, inciting disturbance, and thuggery, pleaded not guilty; their bail ruling is set for October 6. Police claim the arrests involved suspected illicit drugs, while the African Democratic Congress alleges infringement on freedom of expression. Governor Babagana Umara Zulum denied ordering the arrests, and the fresh march appears to show solidarity with the detainees amid intensifying political activity ahead of the 2027 elections.
