Socio-Economic
Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP)
Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has
condemned “violent attacks on peaceful protesters demanding the
release of Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare as ordered by the
court.”
In a statement today by SERAP deputy director Kolawole
Oluwadare, the organization said: “We have seen a video footage
apparently showing the use of lethal and excessive force by
Nigerian security agents against peaceful protesters demanding the
release of Sowore and Bakare as ordered by the court. We condemn
the ruthless violence and shocking abuses against protesters.”
The statement read in part: “@UNHumanRights @UN_SPExperts
@davidakaye should urgently respond to the rule of law and human
rights crisis in Nigeria and call on the authorities to end this
brutality. It is high time to ramp up monitoring on the situation
in Nigeria and to send investigators to the country at once.”
“The use of lethal and excessive force violates the very core of
Nigeria’s constitution and international human rights obligations.
This should end immediately, and those responsible should be held
to account.”
“Nigerian authorities should immediately obey ALL court orders
and specifically the court order for the release of Sowore and
Bakare from arbitrary detention.”
