The Borno State Police Command has clarified that the five suspects arrested in Maiduguri were not charged solely for wearing T-shirts inscribed with "Tinubu Must Go." According to a press release by the Command's Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Daso, the suspects were apprehended in 2026 for allegedly inciting disturbance, breaching public peace, committing thuggery, and possessing drug substances.
On 25 September 2026, officers on routine patrol around the West End Roundabout area of Maiduguri apprehended the suspects. They were found in possession of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, 100 tablets suspected to be D5, a shisha pot, a pair of scissors, and two T-shirts with the inscription "Tinubu Must Go." The Command emphasized that the Nigeria Police Force is a professional, non-partisan institution and does not discriminate based on political affiliation or viewpoint.
They remain committed to upholding fundamental human rights, the rule of law, due process, accountability, and transparency.
