Atiku Abubakar: “Nigerians Have A Fundamental Right To Protest”
The 1999 Nigerian constitution, as amended (Section 40) guarantees the right of citizens to peaceful protest.
The courts have also affirmed that right. Anything contrary to that is not acceptable and stands condemned.
It is the security agents’ responsibility to provide a secured conducive environment for citizens to protest peaceably in line with constitutional provisions and the African Charter on Human rights.
