A human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has said that the spirit of late former military Head of State, General Sani Abacha, has taken over Nigeria’s Presidential Villa.
The statement comes after the Department of State Services, DSS, arrested Comrade Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and clamped down the office of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, in Abuja.
Effiong, in a series of posts on his X handle, accused Nigerian government of resorting to tyranny to cover its palpable and monumental failures.
He urged the international community to impose stringent sanctions on those seeking to destabilize democracy in Nigeria.
He said: “The spirit of Sani Abacha has taken over the presidential villa.”
“It is obvious that this regime is paranoid and is resorting to tyranny to cover its palpable and monumental failures. The arrest of Ajaero is condemnable and he should be released forthwith.
“It is shameful that the pretentious and deceitful progressives are now destroying whatever is left of Nigeria’s democracy. It is now clear that this regime is determined to use arbitrary force to silence conscientious voices.
“It is important for the international community to impose severe sanctions on agents of democratic destabilization in Nigeria.”
