A horde of Muslim Facebook users launched a tirade at the First Lady of Nigeria Aisha Buhari for shaking a man while receiving an award describing her act as ‘unIslamic’.

Aisha was pictured shaking the Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign & European Affairs, Minister Didier Reynders, who presented her with an award at a forum for African women.

Most users on Facebook slammed her for her actions and quoting one user (Moosah Saleeh Saleh); “Shaking hands with a man you are not married to is ‘unIslamic’. It is better she puts her in the mouth of a shark or a ton of fire”.

Only 24-hours ago, Aisha came under fire by her compatriots for wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo Cape Dress which is reportedly worth the princely sum of 1.2 million ($2,600) despite the prevalent economic recession which Nigerians are currently facing.
