Urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prosecute those behind the invasion, he said: “I condemn the invasion of SERAP’s office.
“The Tinubu government must urgently fish out the officers who carried out the invasion of SERAP’s office in the name of the government.
“Anyone found to be responsible for the invasion must be prosecuted. The government must allow human rights defenders to freely carry out their work, consistent with the Nigerian Constitution.”
