The Human rights group in a release signed by the Acting Coordinator Comrade Saka Waheed , condemns the unwarranted aggression of Nigeria police against peaceful Anambra women protesters who were angry like majority of Anambra for the way and manner their yearnings to freely elect their leader was truncated by the combine criminal effort of politician and rogue electoral officer.
Waheed stated that the inhuman treatment melted to Anambra women by Nigeria police is a violation of not only the rights of women to peaceful protest but also a violation of the constitution that guarantee their rights, it is unwarranted, illegal, immoral and condemn able.
According to the group; At a time when our electoral institution is in dire strait on the crisis of integrity inflicted on the commission by some of her personnel who compromised to fraudulently truncate the people’s yearning and aspiration to freely and fairly elect a new Governor in Anambra, we never expect to add police brutality to the whole shenanigan in Anambra, but it seems the Nigeria police are still experiencing hangover of the military era, and to even think women group will be dispersed by tear gas canisters is so unfortunate.
CDRP further reiterates its condemnation of attacks by the police on peaceful gatherings and prevention of demonstrators from exercising their constitutional right to assembly and freedom of expression as guarantee by the constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria.
‘We must not allow security agency to violates the basic rights and freedoms, we must not allow police to institutionalized culture of impunity, and we must insist on getting justice for Anambra women and all other citizen who have been brutalized by police in recent time, it is a duty that we owe our self and the constitution, if the law cannot protect the citizen, the citizen must protect the law’
