UK to sanction erring Nigerian officials found guilty of EndSARS protests

The UK parliament has called on the British government to immediately commence investigation into human rights abuses by the Nigerian government and security agencies on citizens.

It also demanded the UK government to consider imposing sanctions on officials who are found culpable.

These sanctions range from visa bans to assets freezing as contained in an e-petition upon which the parliament’s Monday debate was based.

This was in particular reference to the #EndSARS protest held across the country last month and the attack on peaceful and unarmed protesters by the military at the Lekki toll gate.
