Members
of Coalition of Civil Society Group are currently staging a protest outside the
British Embassy in Abuja over the $9.6 billion judgment debt against
Nigeria.
The protesters who are
wielding placards and banners defied the morning downpour and chanted
anti-government songs asking for the reversal of the judgment.
Armed policemen have
taken strategic positions within the premises of the embassy.
Some of the inscriptions
on the banners read: '$9.6bn Judgement Is a Big Fraud; 200 Million Nigerians
Are Against $9.6bn UK judgment; Nigeria First, Always Always; Nigeria and
Britain Are Friends Not Enemy.
The protesters called on the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, to help President Muhammadu Buhari to fight corruption. The group also called on the anti-graft agencies for the arrest and prosecution of those behind the deals.
