MUST READ! How Mrs Aisha Alhassan Jailed Falana, Gani Fawehinmi, Beko Over June 12th, 1993 Annulment



Outspoken human right activist and lawyer, Chief Femi Falana has recounted how the current Minister of Women Affair, Aisha Alhassan jailed him alongside late Chief Gani Fawehinmi and the late Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti over June 12th, 1993 annulment.


Falana made this disclosure in an interview with the Punch Newspaper, where he bore his mind on Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra agitation and proscription, and how the government is paying lip service to the restructuring of the country among other issues of national interest.

When asked about the comment made by Aisha Alhassan on the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, here is what Falana said as quoted by the Punch Newspaper
"Madam Aisha Alhassan is a conscious reactionary lady. As a magistrate, she once ordered my detention along with the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi and the late Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti in Suleja prison custody for organising protests against the annulment of the June 12 (presidential) election in July 1993. And when I complained to her that the Suleja prison condition was horrible she reversed her order and sent us to Kuje prison. In sending us to prison, she was full of smiles. Like the President’s wife, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, Mrs. Aisha Alhassan is a very determined woman. Like the President’s wife, who said she might not campaign for her husband (in 2019), Mrs. Alhassan has boldly said that she would prefer Alhaji Atiku to Buhari in 2019. Unfortunately, her preference is not anchored on ideology or principle. But she is entitled to her opinion."
