Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has launched action against Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state and therefore the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari at the ECOWAS Court of Justice in Abuja over the “Brutal crackdown, repression, and grave violations and abuses of the human rights of the people of Rivers State.” SERAP said in suit number ECW/CCJ/APP/20/20 filed last Friday:

That’s contrary to Nigeria’s international human rights obligations, including under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and therefore the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.” SERAP said: “This suit is primarily against Governor Wike and therefore the Rivers Government for failing to respect, protect and make sure the constitutionally and internationally is sure in the state. The Governor has used executive orders 1 and 6 to ride roughshod over the human rights of Nigerians. https://agfastlinknews.com.ng/
