HURIWA kicks, questions Buhari over alleged Chinese police station in Nigeria

By Adeleye Kunle

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians on the trending story of China setting up a police station in Benin City.

HURIWA said that Nigerians must be adequately informed in compliance with the freedom of information act of 2023 and the Section 22 of the Nigerian Constitution which obliges government to provide infirm to the media of mass communications.

The group said it just read about China Police station in Nigeria and wondered if NIGERIA has a police station in China too.

“Should it be true that Nigeria under President Buhari has permitted China to set up a police station within Nigeria’s sovereign territorial jurisdiction then it is a gross breach of our sovereignty of Nigeria,” the group said in a statement signed by Emmanuel Onwubiko, its national coordinator.

“It is a high treason for such an aggressive comprimise and sabotage of the internal national security of Nigeria to be sold out. But for Mr. President’s constitutional immunity from prosecution as enshrined under section 308 of the Constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria, we in HURIWA would have sued President Muhammadu Buhari in his personal capacity if this rumor happened to be true
