Nnamdi Kanu parents’ burial: HURIWA raises alarm over arrest, detention of mourners
investigate the alleged arrest and order the release of all the Jewish worshippers that were reportedly arrested by soldiers in Abia State on their way to the burial of the parents of the leader of the IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
HURIWA is also calling on the Chief of Army Staff to continue to drum it out to his operatives on internal military operations to consistently and vigorously adhere to the principles of the rule of law, respect for the fundamental human rights of all citizens, respect for freedom of religion, freedom of worship and freedom of conscience as a professionally excellent General that he is in the Army.
“We have it on good authority that the Army Chief of staff has since published and circulated a reader’s friendly green handbook containing dozens of binding global, municipal, continental and local human rights provisions that have been mainstreamed in all military internal security operations. HURIWA also stated Buratai should order the release if he finds the allegation meritorious because it is discriminatory and one does not arrest or discriminate a group of people based on their religion or based on their tribe and particularly when you treat Jewish worshippers as outcasts you might be guilty of crime against humanity known as Anti-semitic.
HURIWA appeals to him “as partners to please order the release of these individuals who have committed no offence. It is not an offence for anybody to choose or worship his or her God anyway they want to worship. Everybody must not be either Christians or Muslims. People even have the right to worship no one; atheism.
“I hope the Chief of Army Staff is aware of the severity of this offence? As a global traveller, the well-educated Army Chief is aware that this is why the Labour Party in Britain lost the election because the Labour Party is said not to have a clear position on anti-Semitism.
