NBA Protesters Suleja

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has confirmed the death of protesters in the Suleja area of Niger State. The association stated that it would look into the next course of action.

The Chairman of the Suleja branch of the NBA, Abdullahi Liman, confirmed the development, noting that as directed by the national president of the NBA, he had gone to the residence of one of the deceased, Yahaya Nda Isah, to get credible information for further action.

Speaking to Daily Trust via telephone, Liman said: “The national level of the NBA has asked all the branches to constitute monitoring committees in respect of the protest.

“So, we are going around to see what is really happening. I got information that a man was shot dead and I came to the house of the victim, Yahaya Nda Isah, to confirm things for myself and I have seen the corpse.

“So, what we are doing now is to gather information in respect of the incident and I will reach out to the national level so that we know what to do next in respect of the issue. This cannot be denied,” Liman said.

This follows earlier reports that several people were killed when security officers forcibly dispersed a crowd of protesters.

Recall that it was reported that the NBA President, Yakubu Maikyau, gave directives to all chairpersons of the 130 branches of the association to take up any case(s) of breach of fundamental human rights of persons involved in the protest.
