Peter Obi Condemns Demolition of Brother's Company in Lagos, Decries Lawlessness in Nigeria
A video circulating online has sparked outrage, showing Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, lamenting the demolition of his brother's 15-year-old company in Lagos. The demolition, which Obi described as "coordinated lawlessness and impunity," has raised concerns about the state of lawlessness in Nigeria.
According to Obi, his brother's company, located in Ikeja, Lagos, was demolished without prior notice or a court order. Obi claimed that the demolition was carried out by individuals who failed to produce any documentation or identification.
The former Anambra State governor expressed his disappointment and frustration, stating that the demolition reflects a broader pattern of impunity and disregard for the rule of law in Nigeria. He emphasized that the government's failure to uphold civil rights and ensure basic legal protections is sending a dangerous message to Nigerians and the international community.
Obi's concerns about lawlessness in Nigeria are not unfounded. Recent reports have highlighted the country's worsening human rights record, including deteriorating civil liberties, personal safety, and institutional protections.
The demolition of Obi's brother's company has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for an investigation into the incident. The Lagos State government has yet to comment on the matter.
In a statement, Obi reiterated his commitment to a better Nigeria, where lawlessness will be a thing of the past, and protection of life and property, respect for human rights, care for the less privileged, and basic education for all children will be upheld.
As the controversy surrounding the demolition continues to unfold, Nigerians are left wondering about the state of the country's rule of law and the protection of citizens' rights.
