'Violation of human rights' -- Falana tells Sanwo-Olu to bring back Osun deportees

Femi Falana, human rights lawyer and senior advocate of Nigeria , says Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, should ensure that those deported to Osun from the state are brought backOn Saturday, there were reports that the Lagos government deported some residents who are Osun indigenes.that five luxurious buses were used to transport the people down to Osun state.

He described the deportation as illegal, adding that since the Lagos government and police have denied involvement in the deportation, Sanwo-Olu should ensure that the deportees are brought back to the state.“It is indisputable that the deportation of the so-called miscreants violated their fundamental right to freedom of movement, guaranteed by section 41 of the constitution,” Falana said.

“Since the deportation of the 317 citizens was not authorised by the Lagos state government, governor Sanwo-Olu should ensure that they are brought back to Lagos state as soon as possible.
