Security operatives yesterday arrested a lawyer and human rights activist, MALCOLM OMIRHOBO, in Abuja.
Reports indicate that OMIRHOBO had staged a one-man protest at the entrance to the Presidential Villa before he was picked up.
OMIRHOBO was reportedly protesting over the killing of at least seventy-eight rice farmers in Borno State.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has called for the release of the activist.
SERAP insisted that protest is a constitutional right in a democracy as provided in Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution.
