The Chief Magistrate Court, CMC in Kaduna State on Tuesday ordered the detention of activist Mahdi Shehu in prison for making a social media post that revealed Bola Tinubu’s ties with France.
Agents of the State Secret Services arrested Mr Shehu during the weekend over his now-deleted social media post suggesting Bola Tinubu was pandering to Western interests and planning to establish a French military base in the Northwestern region of the country.
Based on the order, the activist would be held at the Kaduna Correctional Service Facility following his arraignment on charges bordering on conspiracy, aiding and abetting terrorism and inciting public disturbances on Tuesday.
Mr Shehu alleged that Mr Tinubu enlisted French soldiers to train the Nigerian military and implied that the Nigerian president planned to cede some sections of the country to France.
