The Coalition of Northern of Group (CNG) has termed the arrest of the Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, as uncalled for.
CNG’s Spokesman Sulaiman Abdulazeez, said this while speaking on Monday evening on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He said, “To attempt to stop someone from associating freely, from enjoying his right to freedom of association or freedom of movement is totalitarian.
“It is an attempt to suppress voices of dissent. This government has grown increasingly intolerant of opposition or criticism.”
Abdulazeez also noted that the incident “is about breaching people’s fundamental human rights; There is no point, the arrest is totally uncalled for.”
Recall that Sowore and four others were remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja, pending their formal bail hearing slated for Tuesday, January 5, 2021.
