The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has called for the dismissal, arrest and prosecution of Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed for lying to Nigerians over the killing of unarmed #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate.
HURIWA noted that if President Muhammadu Buhari fails to punish the minister he would be remembered as a dictator who oversaw the massacre of young Nigerian protesters.
It added that generations unborn would never forgive the president if he spares Mohammed.
HURIWA likened the minister’s action to a denial of the Holocaust, the killing of six million Jews by Adolf Hitler.
“We are asking the President Muhammadu Buhari to order the arrest and prosecution of his minister of information, Lai Mohammed for committing a grave and heartless offence that is equivalent to the denial of the Holocaust of the six million Jews by Adolf Hitler which is punishable by nearly half a century of incarceration,” the group said in the statement.
While commending the members of the panel for a job well done, HURIWA asked the Buhari not to sweep the lawlessness of the security agencies under the carpet.
