The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olumide Akpata, has expressed concerns over government’s clampdown on some individuals associated with #EndSARS protests.
Akpata, in a social media (Facebook and Twitter) posts on Saturday, said it was unfortunate that notable #EndSARS promoters like Modupe Odele, DJ Switch, and others were being intimidated and hounded by the government while others had their bank accounts frozen.
He said: “With all that’s going on in the aftermath of the #ENDSARS protests, Lawyers are definitely not smiling! @djswitch_ has gone into hiding after receiving threatening phone calls, Moe Odele’s passport was seized and she has been prevented from travelling outside the country and Rinu Oduala and many others have had their accounts frozen by the CBN…this was not the deal.”
