Our Website Shut Down Five Times And Attacked 50 Times With Trojan Virus

The official website of the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law: https://intersociety-ng.org, has become one of the defenseless victims of the civic space shrinking policy of the outgoing Government of Nigeria under Retired Major General Muhammad Buhari and Prof Yemi Osinbajo. Intersociety’s website had in the past five years or 2018 to 2023 come under attacks, strongly linked to subversive agents of the named intolerant and grossly rights abusive Government. This is to the extent that our website had been shut down at least five times and attacked with Trojan virus or others 50 times; forcing us at great expense to spend a fortune to clear the Nigerian Government mess including restoring the website and retrieving our advocacy files back on the site. The shutting down of our website for weeks or days occurred in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and Tuesday, 4th April 2023. The website had also suffered not less than 50 virus attacks since then, an average of ten severe virus attacks per year. The latest shutdown of our website occurred on Tuesday, 4th April 2023 and on inquiry, we were informed in writing by our domain host that “our website hosting has been suspended as a result of numerous complaints and petitions against the site and this report and majority of the petitions are from your region (Nigeria)…”



Attacks Secretly Linked To Nigerian Government’s Subversive Agents Over Our Advocacy Works

Our further investigations following the shutdowns revealed that they secretly emanated from the subversive agents of the outgoing Government of Nigeria located in the military, spy police and cyber and general information departments and ministries. For purpose of setting the record straight, Intersociety is highly knowledgeable about human rights, democracy, rule of law, and citizens’ security and safety advocacy Organizations. We are also seven years older than the outgoing Federal Government of Nigeria, having been formed in July 2008 as against the outgoing Nigerian Government which came on board in late May 2015. Intersociety has earned international voice and respectability in matters of unbiased, non-discriminatory, and forensic research, investigation, documentation, and publications using our expert volunteers including criminologists, security and peace studies experts, lawyers, journalists, and so on. Our reports have credibly formed part of academic projects and theses and international Governments and diplomatic policies and statements, especially in the areas of religious freedom and worship or belief; promotion of democracy and rule of law and advancing citizens’ civil liberties or fundamental human rights, etc.



Buhari/Osinbajo Govt Founded By ‘Lagos School Of Rights And Democracy’ Now A Civilian Tyranny

It is shocking and disbelieving that the outgoing Central Government of Buhari/Osinbajo founded by the ‘Lagos School of Democracy and Human Rights’ has heavily wobbled and rapidly transformed into a civilian tyranny. While the original person of Retired Major General Muhammad Buhari was never known to be a Democrat and respecter of human rights and rule of law, those who pioneered his ‘civilian presidency’ in 2015 were highly respected and celebrated within and outside Nigeria as human rights and democracy champions and upholders of rule of law and societal decency. One of them is Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the current outgoing Vice President of Nigeria; once a respected professor of law and ‘activist lawyer’/defender of the downtrodden and social justice. Today, the defense of human rights, democracy, and rule of law in Nigeria or any part thereof have been egregiously and grisly bastardized by the same apostles of the ‘Lagos School of Democracy and Human Rights’. The worse of it all is that some, if not many of them have sold their consciences to the Devil and rapidly transformed into protectors of the Nigerian Government conduct atrocities including aiding and abetting the conduct atrocity perpetrators internationally summoned to the Hague, New York, Geneva, Brussels and Paris to defend themselves over strong allegations and indictments bordering on grievous rights abuses and violations contained in the international reports of Intersociety, Amnesty International and others. Nigeria’s Rights CSO Community has also been dangerously flooded with hundreds of mushroom and phantom NGOs-most of them Government registered and funded NGOs. According to a detailed study carried out and published in July 2021 by Mathew Page, a non-resident scholar with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, USA, “there are presently about 360 pro-government NGOs in Nigeria incorporated since 2015 (under Buhari/Osinbajo Presidency) who thrive on government funding to champion illiberal causes and stop calls for reforms. They are separated from the mainstream NGOs that seek to advance democratic values and defend human righ READ MORE HERE...https://beadysworld.tv/2023/04/08/our-website-was-taken-down-five-times-and-attacked-with-virus-50-times-in-5-years-under-buhari-intersociety/
