Popular tiktoker arrested for abusing government officials

Police operatives in Adamawa State have arrested a 33-year-old man, identified as Aliyu Musa aka Imam Mahdi, over alleged use of abusive language against public office holders in the state.

The command’s spokesperson, Suleiman Nguroje, in a statement on May 13, said that it came across “a very disturbing video” of the suspect, a resident of Kwacham Ward, Mubi South LGA, with a Tiktok handle @faty5076 circulating on social media.

According to the statement, “The content portrays the young man’s assertions of claiming some Adamawa stakeholders are unjust thereby abusing them in an immoral manner which he doesn’t have any evidence to substantiate his assertions and that may not only tarnish their image but will also lead to breakdown of law and order, due to their sensitive responsibilities as public office holders in Adamawa in particular and Nigeria in General.

The Command unequivocally condemns such acts in the strongest terms and vowed to deal with anyone who is bent in violeting the laws of the land.
