Olumide Akpata Condemns Arrest Of LekkiTollGate Protesters

Posted by: Frank Cis || Categories: News

The images & footages of the unlawful actions of the Nigerian Police at the Lekki Tollgate Lagos are truly shocking.

The @NigBarAssoc condemns the brazen disrespect for the fundamental rights of unarmed citizens who are merely exercising their rights to peaceful protests.

We are currently working together with members of our Association to ensure the release of those detained. At the moment, we understand that the detainees are spread across Panti, Adeniji and Ikeja Police Stations and that they are currently being denied access to their Lawyers.

This is totally unacceptable and we call on the Police to immediately release them or allow them unhindered access to their lawyers. For Protesters who do not have legal representation the @NigBarAssoc is setting up a team of volunteer lawyers who will immediately represent them.
