The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Wednesday said it is suing the Muhammadu Buhari administration and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) over reports of intimidation and attacks on supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that SERAP made this known via its verified Twitter handle.
This newspaper had reported that Obi condemned the alleged arrest and intimidation of his supporters, also known as Obidients.
In a tweet thread on Tuesday, the former Anambra State governor described as disturbing and condemnable the recent reports that some security agents silently arrested some Obidients.
He added that elections would not be free and fair when some groups intimidate their opposition, both during campaigns and at the polls.

Bother of them are good and at the same time bad , but let God chose for us the right one to rule.
