The African Bar Association, ABA, has stated on Wednesday morning, that it would immediately file criminal complaints against the President Muhammadu Buhari Federal Government before international bodies, over the shooting of peaceful EndSARS protesters in Lagos State, on Tuesday night, Page 36 learnt.
While frowning at the shooting of unarmed protesters by suspected Nigerian Soldiers, the ABA stated that it would call for an international inquiry into the matter.
The Association said this in a statement by its President, Hannibal Uwaifo.
The statement read: “The African Bar Association is deeply saddened by the actions of the Nigerian Government, in drafting Soldiers to forcefully suppress the ongoing #ENDSARS protest in the country.
“This devilish action which has resulted in the killings and maiming of unarmed peaceful protesters in Lagos, is not only a violation of International Law, but constitutes criminal acts for which those responsible will be held accountable in due course.
“The African Bar Association is totally disappointed in the government of Nigeria, who instead of wholly addressing the germane issues raised by the protesting youths, chose to adopt Gestapo tactics infiltrating the ranks of peaceful protesters with hired mercenaries and thugs, who attacked the protesters, in order to create a scene of chaos.
