IGP, Idris IbrahimBy Oladipupo Mojeed
The Neo Black Movement (NBM) of Africa group has threatened to sue the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, the Nigerian Army and a local vigilance group for breaking the order granted by the police to hold its summit, following a recent intimidation and arrest of its members in a regional summit held in Sapele, Delta State.
Addressing the media in Lagos, president of NBM of Africa (Worldwide), Felix Kupa, demanded an apology within 14 days from the Army, police and vigilance group.
Kupa was represented by the group’s national public relations officer, Clinton Aduba.
According to Kupa, NBM has not seen any reason for the inhuman treatment against its members at its Delta regional summit held at Richmond Continental, Sapele, on February 18, 2017.
“It remains worrisome that the police after giving approval following an application made to it, provided its officers for the security at the event only to turn around to invade the event completely dehumanizing responsible family men and women discussing world peace and freedom of the oppressed”.
” These informed men went ahead to tie the hands of our members, made them to sit on ground or lie down flat on the floor even when nothing incriminating was found on them and despite being aware of a court judgement affirming NBM’s right to associate.
“This matter will not be swept under carpet”, he said.
