A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, FEMI FALANA has asked the Nigeria Police Force to apologize to protesters who were arrested during the June 12 nationwide protest on Saturday. 

FEMI FALANA who is also the interim chair of the alliance on surviving COVID-19 and beyond accused the police of violating the fundamental right of expression of the protesters.

He said it is uncivilized for the police to be chasing and attacking unarmed protesters on the streets as if they are criminals.

The Human Rights Activist also condemned the explanation of the police that the tear gas shot was to prevent hoodlums and miscreants from hijacking the peaceful rallies.

He however commended the protesters for conducting themselves in a mature and peaceful manner.
