Protesters have reportedly besieged the Amnesty International office in Abuja, demanding that the human rights group leave Nigeria just after they were allegedly placed on security watchlist by the Federal Government.

Isa Sanusi, a spokesperson for Amnesty International Nigeria confirmed the protest and also told Premium Times that the protesters appeared to be pro-government as they were angry with the group’s criticism of the Buhari-led administration.

Chanting denigrating songs, the protesters also held placards that were unsympathetic with Amnesty International.
