Please those criticizing Aisha Buhari should read section 399 and 400 of the penal code.

399.

A is guilty of an offence under this section.

400. Whoever intending to insult the modesty of a woman utters a word, makes a sound or gesture or exhibits an object, intending that the word or sound shall be heard or that the gesture or object shall be seen by such woman or intrudes upon the privacy of such woman, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or with fine or with both.

The penal law is very clear here, the penalty under these above subject is one year imprisonment with or without fine.

I stand with Aisha Buhari and Aminu is on his own.
