• CHRICED, JODER say corruption is fighting back
The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED) has flayed the Nigerian Police over the arrest and detention of the Executive Director of Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA), Mr. Olarenwaju Suraj.
Suraj, who is also the chairman of a frontline civil society coalition, Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC), has been a leading voice in the quest for accountability and justice for Nigeria with respect to the massive bribery, which followed the sale of the controversial OPL 124 oil block, also known as Malabu. He was arrested on Wednesday, April 14, in Abuja, following a petition by former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Bello Adoke, who has been standing trial in Nigeria and Italy.
