HURIWA said its members on ground in Rivers State had reported that federal appointees were"parading about with armed security forces and threatening the peace of the state, and unduly harassing civilians".
A statement by Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, the National Coordinator, and Miss Zainab Yusuf, the National Media Affairs Director, cautioned law enforcement agencies to stop parading suspects or subjecting them to media persecution. The statement read: “We are aware and we believe that the Army, being a professional institution, knows that the presumption of innocence is the legal principle in criminal cases that one is considered innocent until proven guilty. This basically means that until a judicial pronouncement on the guilt or otherwise of the accused person is made, he/she is to be treated the same as a regular person; any suggestion to the opposite would be a breach of the Fundamental Human Rights of the individual.
