Aisha Yesufu, a frontline rights activist, has described the Nigeria Police Force as the number one enemy of Nigerians.
Yesufu was reacting to the teargassing of protesters at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The incident occurred at the main entrance of the National Assembly complex after some demonstrators attempted to force their way into the building.
Hundreds of protesters, including women, were caught in the panic, with some falling over each other in their bid to escape the tear gas.
Reacting, Yesufu posted on X: “The number one enemy of the people of Nigeria is the Nigeria Police Force @PoliceNG!
“On the campaign trail as we have Area Council Election on Saturday only to hear of police tear-gassing unarmed protesters demanding for mandatory electronic transmission of results!
“The Nigeria Police Force is the tool of oppression used to suppress the Nigerian people. That must stop.”
