US Asks Tinubu-Led Nigerian Government To Implement #EndSARS Reports, Prosecute Indicted Persons



The United States Government has asked President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian Government to implement the reports of various #EndSARS s of inquiry set up in over 20 States of the federation to investigate human rights abuses by security agencies during the 2020 #EndSARS protests.

The US made the demand at the United Nations Human Rights Council 4th cycle Universal Period Review of Nigeria in Geneva, Switzerland.

A representative of the US Government while addressing some human rights concerns in Nigeria, asked the Nigerian Government to take steps to implement the various #EndSARS reports.

The US representative also asked the Nigerian Government to amend the Nigerian Press Council Act to remove restrictions on freedom of expression and review the standard operating procedure of the armed forces to protect human rights.

Vanguard quoted the US representative as saying, "Our main concern is on certain restrictions on Nigerians on the enjoyment of human rights. In the spirit of constructive engagement, we recommend that Nigeria implement recommendations from State level investigations reports on security forces response to the #EndSARS protests including prosecution as appropriate of the individuals implicated in the reports.

"Amend the Nigerian Press Act of 1992 to remove restrictions on the freedom of expression specifically as it applies to online and citizen journalists. End the arbitrary arrest and prosecution of LGBT persons and amend the armed forces standard operating procedure to ensure the protection of human rights and fundamental freedom of all Nigerians."

In response, the Nigeria's Attorney General of Federation (AGF), Mr Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), appreciated the UN Human Rights Council's interest in the affairs of Nigeria and the recommendations that had been made.

Also, the AGF who reiterated that the issues of credibility of elections in Nigeria do not arise, said that election was a process which starts from nomination, adding that until the Supreme Court made a pronouncement, the election cannot come to an end.

Fagbemi reportedly said that "The issue of credibility of any election in Nigeria does not arise. Election is a process and until the Supreme Court makes any pronouncement, it cannot be regarded as having come to an end.

"A pronouncement has been made in respect of the Presidential election and just last week, the last pronouncement was made in respect of governorship elections. The issue of credibility does not arise at all.

"It has been confirmed to be in conformity with the laws guiding the conduct of elections in Nigeria."

Don't shift goalpost by derailing from the subject matter. Don't think you are smart, kid.

Focus on the massacre that happened in your own backyard.

Tinubu is a clueless president.

A trial will convince you

Tinubu to probe those he used to cause anarchy?

This is uncle USA tactics of dragging us back … Is Nigeria looking how a country should look? Can they be firm about making Nigeria a better country instead

Seunmsg is coming to tell us that nothing of such happened and this must be fake news from obi and his ers.

🤡

Very necessary

It will not be possible because Tinubu was involved in the massacre.
If Tinubu doesn't want his drug trafficking file to be reopened by US court he should comply.

This is the only reason why I would that orange racist called Trump

YourMajesty:

Then why are you kicking against the report being implemented.

Lmao. This one na confused homo sapien

Ronu said it never happened

Tinubu dat should be tried for genocide. He's killing Nigerians everyday with his useless policies.

My friends are calling me to help them, me self I need help seriously.


People that do ritual money are the one that might not feel this heat that is singlehandedly caused by this wicked Tinubu.

He should prosecute him self or his wing man Buhari ??
Keep playing.

OLAADEGBU:


SaharaReporters

US asks Tinubu to implement #Endsars reports and prosecuted and indicted.

How would mr. president prosecute his self?

aguluobi:
Who were the people indicted in the report ? I hope you know the report covered the multitude Pandora. Obi slaughter in Ezu river with the help of that foolish police commissioner he appointed.

Keep behaving like your father while Bola is sweating

If UN would pursue this course to finality, then I must tell you that President Tinubu will be in hot soup cos many heads will roll.

People who the dropping of Bombs on Children, Women, unarmed Civilians, Sick people in ICU and hospitals have no moral justification to tell us what to do.

Arobaga:

Your hatred to Buhari has expired without result?

Congratulations
