Frontline rights group, the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), is dissatisfied with the way and manner the Federal Government is going about its anti-corruption war, insisting that all corrupt officials – both past and present – should be jailed and all looted money refunded.

This was contained in the group’s message on Wednesday during its anti-corruption rally staged at Ikeja area of Lagos; where they appeared in branded wears, singing protest songs against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government. A speaker who pleaded anonymity charged: “We were the ones that put them in power and we can remove them too.”

The National Publicity Secretary of the CDHR, Comrade Rasheed Raji-Ropo, said that the rally would move from Ikeja to Alausa, “where a letter will be dropped to the Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwumi Ambode, to be forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari.”

According to him, “People need to be jailed. People need to account for all the money they looted. All the recovered looted money can build hospitals, schools, and others. Nigeria does not have a good image outside: that should be addressed. We are tired of plea-bargain. We want action.”

He concluded that the struggle will continue till the needful is done, as all branches of the CDHR have risen to this struggle.
