The Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere, has called on the Federal Government to launch a comprehensive investigation into the killings, alleged foreign interests, and calls for military intervention during the recent nationwide protests.
In a communiqué issued on Thursday after its Expanded National Executive Committee Meeting, signed by National Leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, and National Publicity Secretary, Prince Justice Faloye, the group demanded justice for the victims of the protests.
Afenifere urged the Federal Government to:
– Investigate the deliberate violation of rights, particularly the circumstances surrounding the killings, and hold security agents accountable.

– Probe alleged foreign interests and threats to Nigeria’s sovereignty, and punish those found culpable.
– Protect resident non-indigenes and decisively deal with those threatening their safety.
The group emphasized the right of every Nigerian citizen to reside in any part of the country, stressing that Nigerians are massively resident in every state or geopolitical zone, irrespective of their ethnic identities.
The group called on “The Federal Government should Investigate deliberate violation of rights particularly the circumstances of the killing of those who died in the protests and bring to book those including Security agents proven to be culpable in these regards.
“The Federal Government should not take kindly but investigate alleged involvement of foreign interests as threats to Nigeria’s sovereignty and the treasonable calls for military intervention in the political affairs of the nation, the proof of which should attract the full wrath of the law.”
Afenifere‘s demands come amidst growing concerns about the government’s handling of the protests and the need for accountability and justice.
