i am waiting for TRUMP

I really don't know why they can't take him to court at least. While Nnamdi KANU and Dasuki has been arraigned, this man case remained different. what a great number of people don't know is the picture behind this man incarceration.

It is the same issues going on in the middle east. sunis vs shias. same reason why people are killed in drove in Iraq, Syria etc. Buhari is trying to introduce the same problem here in Nigeria. Buhari and el rufai surely have scores to settle with shias.

Does it surprise any other person that despites hundreds of churches with different theological reasoning, Islam with only two sect is much more violent. If there is no peace, why then did God establish religion. Peace is the reason why there is religion established by God. When peace is defeated, religion loses its taste.

Not being partial I must hail Christians on their peaceful coexistence.

Delegation of the European Union to Nigeria and ECOWAS

Local EU Statement issued by the European Union Delegation in agreement with the EU Heads of Mission in Nigeria

Local Statements

The following Local EU STATEMENT was issued by the European Union Delegation in agreement with the EU Heads of Mission in Nigeria.

The EU Heads of Mission note that the decision by a Federal High Court in Abuja ordering Mr. Ibrahim El-Zakzaky’s immediate release from custody by the State Security Service has not been enforced.

The EU underlines the universality of fundamental human rights, which includes the right to a fair trial and freedom from arbitrary detention. We find it worrying that Mr. Zakzaky has been detained for more than a year without having been brought to Justice.

We therefore urge the Nigerian authorities to ensure Mr. Zakzaky is released in accordance with the ruling of the court or is charged formally in accordance with Nigerian law and faces an impartial and balanced trial without further delay.

We encourage transparency and believe it is important that the findings made by all past or ongoing investigations into the violence that occurred in Zaria in December 2015 are published.

The EU Heads of Mission are of the view that all those responsible for the violence must be prosecuted according to the law and that anyone found guilty must be sentenced accordingly.

The right to peaceful assembly and association, as well as the right to free speech is enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution. The EU Heads of Mission also remind Nigeria that it is essential to promote religious tolerance and respect religious rights.

The EU Heads of Mission will continue to follow the judicial situation of Mr. Zakzaky and his wife closely.
