Nastura Shariff’s detention: Civil society group calls for immediate release of activist
Organization, CSO, Concerned Nigerians, CN, has expressed displeasure over his arrest by the Police Force.Comrade Deji Adeyanju, Convener of Concerned Nigerians, in a statement issued on Wednesday condemned the attitude of President Muhammadu Buhari-led government for arresting those who criticized his inability to decisively deal with armed bandits that have been unleashing terror on innocent souls in various communities leading to loss of lives and destruction of property in the country.
It is reported that Nastura Shariff led the protesters called on the Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Bello Masari and President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over their inability to safeguard the lives and property of Nigerians in the North.The Concerned Nigerians noted, “We are greatly worried that the President is arresting critics of his sheer incompetence in the handling of security situations in the North instead of the bandits killing Nigerians.
The group suggested that the President needs to show leadership and stop arresting those criticizing him, reminding that Nigerians are in a democracy and the system of government gives the citizens the right and freedom to hold elected public officials accountable.According to the statement, if the President can’t tolerate dissents, then, he should be courageous enough to resign, pointing out that freedom of assembly is one of the most fundamental rights of the citizens in a democracy.
