The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has written to the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) seeking their assistance in securing the release of over 1,000 protesters detained during the #EndBadGovernance protests.
The protesters have been in custody for over two weeks without access to their lawyers, despite the police’s failure to arraign them on Monday and Tuesday.
In a letter to the NBA President, NHRC Executive Director, Dr. Tony Ojukwu, SAN, expressed deep concern regarding the alleged detention of peaceful protesters.
