<p>A Nigerian man has been jailed after making a Facebook comment which put a curse on a governor in the north of the country, police have said.</p>
<p>Moukhtar Ibrahim Aminu was arrested in Jigawa state for defamation after making the declaration about Governor Sule Lamido.</p>
<p>The comment, posted on January 18 on the social networking website in the local Hausa language, said: &#8220;Allah curse Sule Lamido and all his useless friends.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Lamido&#8217;s spokesman declined to comment.</p>
<p>The arrest comes as Nigeria approaches a crucial April presidential election.</p>
<p>While newspapers do publish columns critical of politicians, bribes paid to journalists help control coverage in Africa&#8217;s most populous nation.</p>
<p>Those who do not fall in line often face threats and beatings.</p>
