The minority caucus of the House of Representatives has condemned the crackdown on some Nigerians protesting across the country.As part of activities to mark June 12, Nigerians across the country protested against President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.The government had last week banned Twitter, a move that appears to be part of a wider crackdown on the digital rights of Nigerians.
“The Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives is disturbed by the hostility of the All Progressives Congress -led Federal Government towards Nigerians protesting in commemoration of June 12 Democracy Day. “The show of brute hostility and violent assault on Nigerians by the security forces is condemnable, unjustifiable and at total variance with fundamental democratic ethos of freedom of expression as guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution .
“As lawmakers, our caucus is disturbed that such violation of human rights and inexcusable assault on the foundation of democracy could happen even on a day set aside by the government to celebrate democracy in the country,” the statement said.
