In a strong message directed at Nigeria’s military leaders, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar issued a stern warning about the consequences of authorizing lethal force against peaceful civilian protesters.
Highlighting the importance of upholding constitutional rights, he emphasized that the right to protest is enshrined in Nigeria’s supreme law and supported by the judiciary.
He tweeted;
“I wish to convey a stern caution to the distinguished service chiefs and military commanders of Nigeria’s armed forces that those who authorise the use of lethal force against peaceful civilian protesters will be held responsible for committing crimes against humanity, even in the years following their retirement from service. The constitutional right to engage in protest is firmly established within our supreme law and reinforced by the judiciary. It is the solemn duty of the government and security agencies to ensure a safe and protected environment for individuals exercising their right to peaceful protest. -AA”
