For the second day on the spin, Nigerians took to the streets of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja demanding the expulsion of Iranians, Amnesty International and others fingered to be destabilising the country.
After Monday’s peaceful rally to the Iranian Embassy, led by the Concerned Citizens Coalition, some Nigerians on Tuesday took its displeasure to Amnesty International’s office.
In a statement by the Convener, Mohammed Shuaibu, the group said it is time for AI to leave as it has over time acted against the nation’s interest.
According to Shuaibu, Amnesty International entered a strategic pact with the Iranian Government to provide protection for Islamic Movement in Nigeria and other militant groups.
While urging the security agencies to act fast, the Concerned Citizens advised AI to “take their loot from Iran to other gullible countries where they can act as they wish.”
Failure to do so, however, the CCC added, Nigerians would indeed hold it responsible should there be a resurgence of violent and criminal activities in the country.
