NDSF PRESS RELEASE - MR PRESIDENT CALL ALL SECURITY AGENCIES TO ORDER
The leadership of Nigeria Diaspora Security Forum is saddened by the unfortunate situation in which security operatives attached to the convoy of the Controller General of Prisons, Dr. Peter Ezenwa Ekpendu, on Wednesday evening allegedly assaulted a female lawmaker, Hon. Onyemeachi Mprakpor, for overtaking his convoy within the premises of the National Assembly.
In a democratic society
where everyone is subject to the Rule of Law; this action is
unacceptable and NDSF is calling on His Excellency President Muhammad
Buhari GCFR to immediately call to order all security operatives to
desist from unprofessional damage and attack of properties and persons.
If
President Muhammad Buhari GCFR convoy comply with traffic rules then
security chiefs are not above the law and it is now imperative to stop
the unnecessary harassment of ordinary Nigerians who are now subjected
to intimidation, property damage and personal assault without legal
remedy availability to the affected individuals.
NDSF
is calling on Nigeria Legislators to seize this rare opportunity to
read the riot act to security chiefs that they are not above the law and
should henceforth comply with traffic rules.
NDSF
is calling on the Controller General of Prisons, Dr. Peter Ezenwa
Ekpendu, to issue an unreserved apology to Nigerians in a national
newspaper for not proactively stopping the assault of an unarmed
Nigerian.
In this era of change, the
administration of President Muhammad Buhari GCFR must not allow security
agencies to operate in a manner that damage the reputation of Nigeria
brand as a democratic society where the Rule of law is supreme.
