They carried protest banners, with inscriptions such as, “Yahaya Bello, Where is Emmanuel Larry?.”
The two protesters, who were arrested, molested by thugs sponsored by the Kogi State Government and detained by the police, had also fallen critically sick.
SaharaReporters learnt that the two protesters had also been denied medical treatment.
“They are seriously ill and not getting treatment. The state government is hell bent on keeping them, perhaps until they die in custody?” a source had stated.
A month ago, global human rights organisation, Amnesty International, had demanded the unconditional release of the two Buhari-must-go protesters, adding that the protesters only crime was that they were “peacefully protesting against corruption and distributing posters that were perceived to be critical of the President.”
