The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has demanded compensation for Aminu Adamu, the student detained for trolling First Lady Aisha Buhari on Twitter.
Mrs. Buhari, on Friday, withdrew the case against the student following the intervention of individuals and groups, including Amnesty International, the National Association of Nigerian Students, and several others.
SERAP, which reacted to the development on its Twitter handle, said Aminu must be compensated by the First Lady.
The organization, however, welcomed Mrs. Buhari’s decision to withdraw the case.
SERAP wrote: “We welcome the withdrawal by the first lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, of the bogus charges against critic, Aminu Mohammed. He should never have been detained or charged in the first place. Now, Aminu deserves a public apology, and an adequate compensation.”
