Protesters carry coffin, rally against Amnesty International

For the third day running, a pressure group, the Global Peace and Life Rescue Initiative (GOPRI) on Wednesday, marched and protested in front of the headquarters of the Amnesty International (AI) in Abuja.

The group embarked on the protest since Monday, March 20.

On Tuesday, GOPRI led by its executive director Melvin Ejeh, cooked a lunch of noodles and yam outside the premises of AI.

The protesters are asking Amnesty International to vacate Nigeria

Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, March 22, Ejeh said AI must reassess its position in Nigeria.

Ejeh said: “How much of the claims being made about it are on point? What roles has it played in the instability plaguing several of the troubled countries in the world and what are its intentions in Nigeria?

“It must reassess its standing not just in the eyes of its Nigerian partners who may not be willing to give it the correct assessment in order not to loose their inflow of foreign currency that would give them financial security.”
