The Chairman of the Bwari branch of the Nigerian Bar Association in Abuja, Mr Clement Chukwuemeka, and three others have sued the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , and the Secretary to the G
overnment of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, for the alleged violation of the COVID-19 regulations and protocols during the burial of Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
The plaintiffs alleged that the handling of the burial of the presidential top aide violated the COVID-19 Regulations issued by Buhari and the guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation and the NCDC. The development sparked concerns about the possibility of an escalation of the spread of the dreaded COVID-19.
They alleged that the defendants also failed to abide by the provisions of the law and guidelines in respect of COVID-19 lockdown, stressing that they endangered people in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by their action.
