Amnesty International has criticized the administration of Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu for threatening protesters planning nationwide demonstrations.
The global human rights organization responded to a statement made by Tinubu’s media aide, Dada Olusegun, who warned that those organizing the protests would “meet the strongest resistance of your lives.”
In a post on its official X handle, Amnesty International declared, ”Threatening peaceful protesters is unlawful. It is a clear attack on freedom of assembly — which is guaranteed by international law and Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution:
”Nigerians must not be denied the constitutionally and internationally guaranteed right to peaceful protest; through veiled threats of violence and false insinuations.”
