Governor Mala Buni of Yobe State has ordered the immediate release of a teenager detained by the police for allegedly insulting him.

I appeal to Governor Mai Mala Buni and the police on compassionate grounds to forgive my son and release him," Mr Isa reportedly said.Mr Buni, who said he was not aware of the arrest and detention, added that it was grossly unnecessary to arrest anyone for insulting or criticising him.
"Until someone drew my attention to it, l wasn't aware of his arrest and detention, l have now directed his immediate release from detention," the Governor was quoted in the statement. " Social media users are also reminded to be responsive and responsible, to respect the rights of everyone, political party, religious and socio-cultural differences, most especially as the political campaigns are ongoing," he said.
