Pressure from protesters insisting that amnesty international must
leave Nigeria seems not to be abating as for the third consecutive day,
th protesters have besieged the international human rights
organization's Abuja office.
The relentless protesters on Wednesday again stormed the organisation's
office, condemning the recent report by amnesty international where it
alleged human rights abuse by Nigeria's security agencies.
However, Wednesday's protest took a different dimension as the
protesters appeared with a confin in front of the amnesty international
office bearing the inscription, "RIP Amnesty International."
Addressing the protest in front of the amnesty office executive
Director of Global Peace and Life Rescue Initiative ( GOPRI), Melvin
Ejeh said amnesty has until 12 midnite today to vacate Nigeria, adding
that beginning from Thursday, legal actions will be taken against the
organisation.
He described as laughable recent report by Amnesty International that
it doesn't recognize or react to NGOs not registered with it as the
height of AI's penchant for trivialities and a fact that the
international NGO doesn't believe in what it preaches.
Ejeh challenged Amnesty International to disclose its affiliation with
Boko Haram for the world to know when and where it registered Boko Haram
that the killers have become their partners.
According to him, his organization will not be cowed by names calling
by Amnesty International or its affiliates in Nigeria who derive
pleasure in the killing of Nigerians by Boko Haram but Would continue to
hold its sit in until every force fighting the Nigerian people is
demolished and demobilized," he added.
It would be recalled that some Nigerians had since on Monday besieged
the amnesty international office insisting that they will occupy the
office until the organisation quits Nigeria.
