A Nigerian clergyman based in the United States, Archbishop Johnson Ikpeme has called on the authorities as well as criminal elements in parts of Africa, especially Nigeria to stop acts of intimidation of their people Speaking about this year's Democracy Day in Nigeria, the clergyman said true democracy should not give room for continual violation of the rights of youths.
He said any country or groups or even individuals that practically express democratic ideals to enhance peaceful living amongst citizens were actually doing God's work and would certainly earn divine blessing. He said, 'The level of intimidation, brutality as well as violations of rights of citizens in Nigeria and Africa as a whole is worrisome. 'It is important that governments and people in power desist from clamping down on the youths or intimidating their people.
