DSS arraigns man over fake Tinubu letter to US president

The Department of State Services (DSS) has filed cybercrime and defamation charges against Mubarak Abdullahi, also known as Sardaunan Samari, over an allegedly fake letter attributed to President Bola Tinubu and addressed to the US president. Arrested on September 28 after posting the document on Facebook with the caption “ATIKU IS COMING,” he was arraigned at a magistrate court in Kaduna and remanded in custody. Presidential adviser Bayo Onanuga said Abdullahi admitted sharing the document and apologised. Activist Omoyele Sowore criticised the arrest, calling it an attempt to silence dissenting voices.
