The petition was submitted to Lucas Koyejo, director of NHRC Lagos zone, by Mary Peluola, convener of Womanifesto. “We pray the National Human Rights Commission to do the following: Communicate clearly to the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police that the continued sham treason trial of Adaramoye Michael Lenin, Mosiu Sodiq, Opaluwa Eleojo Simeon, Angel Love Innocent, and the other Nigerian citizens, including minors, violates Nigeria’s national and international commitments,” part of the petition reads.
