Malami Playing Politics To Divide Yoruba, Igbo People – HURIWA

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has denounced what it deems the federal government’s “persistent double standards” in programs and activities.

has denounced what it calls the federal government’s “persistent double standards” in programs and activities.
HURIWA claimed that the Federal Government was attempting to divide the Yoruba and Igbo nations through Attorney General and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami.

The organization was responding to Malami’s assertions that the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) were involved for some of the disruptions during the End SARS rallies in Lagos State last year.

IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, according to Malami, hijacked the EndSARS demonstration and commanded his supporters to assassinate security personnel.

HURIWA said: “It is possible that the Minister of Justice who is a politician is playing politics of EAST/WEST DIVIDE so as to precipitate political division between Igbo people and the Yoruba and then open up the possibility of retaining power in the North.

“There is a clear evidence of double standards in the area of public prosecution of politically exposed individuals from either north or south. The government, particularly the Ministry of Justice has consistently manifested aversion or lack of enthusiasm towards bringing suspected terrorists from the Northern part of Nigeria to justice but he is always overzealous to charge other persons from the south with certain phantom allegation of of terrorism and the Justice ministry is busy conjuring up half baked allegations to hang it on the necks of either Nnamdi Kanu or Sunday Igboho.

“A good example will suffice; Nnamdi Kanu versus Certain elements and Divisive leaders of Miyetti Allah that have been quoted in the media for supporting the activities of the armed Fulani herdsmen who are terrorists.”
