According to police account reported from the case, the men allegedly get suspected Indian hemp, D5 tablets, shisha pot and scissors for their possession. The development don turn ordinary T-shirt matter into one case wey get plenty layers, as court don already enter the picture.

The five men — Baba Aji Gremami, Mustapha Abba Yemen, Abbacha Mohammed Ali, Adam Umar Gubio and Abdulhamid Mohammed — were arrested over the T-shirts around West End Roundabout area of Maiduguri on September 25. Reports say police charge dem with criminal conspiracy, inciting disturbance, disturbance of public peace and thuggery under sections of the Borno State Penal Code. Dem later plead not guilty when dem appear before Chief Magistrate Court I.

Legal Action As T-Shirt Wey Start Political Matter Don Collect Plenty Extra Baggage

For the latest police clarification, the T-shirt no be the only thing investigators say dem encounter during the arrest. Police reportedly listed suspected Indian hemp, D5 tablets, shisha pot and one pair of scissors among items allegedly found in the suspects’ possession. Because these allegations concern potentially unlawful substances, OGM News Pidgin no dey independently confirm the police claim as fact, and the suspects remain defendants until the court determine the matter.

Meanwhile, the original political slogan don become major part of the public argument. The police case, as reported, focuses on the allegation that the men printed and wore the shirts with an alleged intention to disturb public peace. The defendants have pleaded not guilty, meaning say the allegations remain allegations and still need judicial determination.

Legal Action Don Enter, Political Debate Still Dey Hot

The case don also attract reaction from political and human-rights groups. Amnesty International has criticised the arrest and argued that peaceful political expression should not automatically become a criminal matter, while Borno ADC also condemned the arrests. Those are the positions of the respective organisations and no be court findings.

For now, the legal matter dey continue. Reports say the court adjourned the bail application for October 6, 2026, while the substantive case was fixed for October 26. So the T-shirt wey fit look like ordinary political message for roadside don become evidence, allegation, courtroom matter and national talking point all at once. For Nigerian social media, this one fit soon turn “comment section courtroom” as everybody bring their own legal dictionary come.

As the matter dey unfold, OGM News Pidgin go continue to monitor the court proceedings and any fresh clarification from the police or other parties involved. For now, make everybody remember say accusation no be conviction, and the court still get the final word on the allegations before am.
