Addressing the protest in front of the amnesty office executive Director of Global Peace and Life Rescue Initiative ( GOPRI), Melvin Ejeh insisted the protest is continuous and that they will converge again tomorrow until amnesty international leaves Nigeria
He urged more Nigerians to come out en mass to eject those he described as "enemies of Nigeria", while also urging the federal government to take action.
The protesters carried various placards with inscriptions such as "amensty leave our country in peace or in pieces,"amensty international, you freeze when terrorists kill us," "enough is enough" "amensty international, we know your mission"
Ejeh decried what he termed as the continuous attempt by AI to portray Nigeria as a country without respect for human rights.
