Peter Obi Criticizes Arrest of 52 AAU Students Over Protest in Edo State
Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, strongly opposes the arrest and remand of 52 Ambrose Alli University (AAU) students in Edo State for protesting against insecurity. He condemns the government's response, stating that penalizing citizens for exercising their democratic rights is fundamentally wrong.
Obi expresses deep concern over the students' arrest, highlighting the need to focus on tackling actual criminal activities like banditry and kidnapping. The students were allegedly arrested following a peaceful protest that was later hijacked by hoodlums.
Obi calls for an end to terrorism and banditry while advocating for the protection of citizens' rights to voice legitimate grievances.
