SERAP Office: Tinubu Is Going Too Far – Sowore, Amnesty International

International human rights group, Amnesty International (AI) and the 2023 presidential candidate of the Africa Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, have called on President Bola Tinubu to stop cracking down on the rights of Nigerians to hold dissenting voices.

Amnesty International said the unlawful invasion of the Abuja office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Monday showed President Tinubu is going too far to gag dissenting voices.

Naija News reported that men of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday, occupied Abuja office of SERAP, demanding the directors of the human rights group.

On his part, Sowore said the invasion of SERAP’s office and arrest of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) president, Joe Ajaero, demands action from the citizens and the organized labour.

The new DSS has resumed work for his uncle Bola, as operatives storm SERAP Nigeria Office in Abuja, demand to see their directors! Fascism of Bola Tinubu must be stopped now!” Sowore wrote on his X handle.

The human rights activist further called on NLC to mobilize for protest action against the government.

“I can’t understand the pact NLC leaders had with Bola Tinubu for them not to have shut down the damn country and side with the people. Is it that they did some shady underground dealings they are being blackmailed with?” He added.
