Kaduna-based Public Commentator, Mahdi Shehu, was on Tuesday remanded at the Kaduna correctional service facility.
He was arraigned at the Chief Magistrate Court 1, Kaduna, on two count charges of conspiracy, aiding and abetting terrorism, contrary to section 26 (2)(3) of the terrorism (Prevention & Prohibition) Act, 2022 and inciting public disturbances contrary to section 78 of the penal code law of Kaduna State, 2017.
Shehu had alleged in a post made on his X account of plans by the federal government to site a French military base in the north-east of Nigeria as reportedly claimed by the Niger Republic military leader, Abdourahamane Tchiani, which was later rebutted by the Nigerian government.
He was arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS, some days ago and was summarily arraigned at the Chief Magistrate Court for prosecution.
The Magistrate, Abubakar Lamido, remanded Shehu in the Correctional Service facility and adjourned to 14th January, 2025, for further hearing of the case.

Gaza ceasefire: Israeli military calls up reservists
The Israeli military has called up reservists in preparation for a possible resumption of fighting in Gaza if Hamas fails to meet a Saturday deadline to release more Israeli hostages.
DAILY POST reports that under the ceasefire deal in force since January 19, the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to free three more hostages on Saturday.
Hamas, however, said this week that it was suspending the handover because of what it said were Israeli violations of the terms.
Similarly, President Donald Trump of the United States responded, saying all hostages must be freed by noon on Saturday or he would “let hell break out.”
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Tuesday that Israel would resume intense fighting if Hamas did not meet the deadline.
The standoff threatens to reignite a conflict that has devastated the Gaza Strip, internally displaced most of its people, caused shortages of food, running water, and shelter, and pushed the Middle East to the brink of a wider regional war.
While Israeli officials said government ministers had endorsed Trump’s threat to cancel the ceasefire unless all the remaining Israeli hostages are released on Saturday, Hamas has said it remains committed to the agreement but has not agreed to release the hostages on Saturday.
According to Israeli tallies, the Gaza war was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, in which no fewer than 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 were taken as hostages into Gaza.
Gaza health officials, in response, said Israel began a military offensive against Hamas that has laid waste to the coastal enclave and killed at least 48,000 Palestinians.
