The UK Parliament has commenced deliberations on petitions seeking to sanction the federal government of Nigeria for human rights abuses over the EndSARS campaign.
AS it was gathered, the UK Parliament had confirmed it will consider a petition sent to it concerning human rights abuses.
Well, the petition which is on the UK government and parliament website accused the Nigerian government and police of defying the rights of those protesting against police brutality and extra-judicial killings.
Following the development, Stephen Doughty, a member of the parliament in a post via his official Twitter page on Wednesday, 21st October, 2020, expressed that the issue of the killings has been raised and deliberations have started.
In his words..
“I raised the shocking killings of End Sars protestors in Lekki toll gate, Lagos Nigeria this morning in the House of Commons with FCDOGovUK Minister Nigel Adams.
“I am horrified by the reports I am receiving.
“UK Government must urgently raise at the highest levels with Nigeria.”
