The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has confirmed the killings in Suleja area of Niger State, vowing to take action.

Daily Trust had reported how some persons were killed when security operatives forcefully dispersed the crowd of protesters who blocked a major road, leaving passengers trapped for hours.

When contacted over the shooting, Wasiu Abiodun, spokesman of the Niger Police Command, had said he would verify and get back to our reporter but he never did.

In a statement he later issued on the protest, the police image maker was silent on the deaths, but he said some hoodlums were arrested.

However, the Chairman of Suleja branch of NBA, Abdullahi Liman, told our correspondent on telephone that as directed by the national president of the NBA, he had gone to the residence of one of deceased, Yahaya Nda Isah, to get credible information for further action.

“The national level of the NBA has asked all the branches to constitute monitoring committees in respect of the protest.

“So, we are going around to see what is really happening. I got information that a man was shot dead and I came to the house of the victim (Yahaya Nda Isah) to confirm things for myself and I have seen the corpse.

“So, what we are doing now is to gather information in respect of the incident and I will reach out to the national level so that we know what to do next in respect of the issue. This cannot be denied.”

Daily Trust had earlier reported how NBA promised to provide pro bono legal service for any peaceful protesters assaulted or intimidated during the nationwide hunger protest.

NBA President, Mr. Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau (SAN), had directed chairpersons in all 130 NBA branches across the country to monitor the protest, saying the measures were in recognition of the fundamental and guaranteed constitutional rights of citizens to assemble and protest.

When will Nigerians learn the antics of the SE.

This was how Azikiwe positioned his people for a bloody ethnic cleansing they called a coup in January 1966. Same Azikiwe sneaked out of the country just before the coup leaving his friends from other regions to be massacred


The most treacherous people are SE

Na wa o. The SE people are really victims of Nigeria. No other region is as occupied by security than SE as of today, yet they still take the sticks for trying to be peaceful. So, Igbos like Sowore and co magically instigated millions of people including northerners whom you all claim hate them, to go on rampage? They're not protesting in your Lagos, they're not the ones with empty pots in protest venues. When will your conscience come alive again?

Free2Fly:
You bastards are happy that innocent Nigerians who are just exercising their rights to protests are being killed because of your useless, ugly-looking, demi-god who has nothing but sufferings to offer Nigerians!

What a despicable, disgusting people!

They can't take any damn action. Those that died during occupy Nigeria protest, Biafria protest, and recently EndSars protest, nobody even remembers their name.

Anyone that breaks the law by being an anarchist go chop groundnut.
