Ex-presidential aide appeals to OPay over woman’s arrest

Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad has appealed to OPay Digital Services Limited to reconsider the arrest of Haifa Abubakar, who was detained over a viral post falsely claiming that the fintech company was shutting down its operations. Ahmad stated that Haifa had admitted her mistake and complied with OPay's request to delete the post and apologise, questioning why she was still arrested despite her compliance.

He emphasized the importance of combining accountability with compassion when someone acknowledges wrongdoing and rectifies their actions. Ahmad believes that Haifa, a young woman and student, should not face long-term negative consequences from her mistake.
