The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Wednesday said it is suing the Muhammadu Buhari administration and the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) over reports of intimidation and attacks on supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

SERAP made this known via its verified Twitter handle after Peter Obi condemned the alleged arrest and intimidation of his supporters, otherwise called Obidients.

Peter Obi who spoke Tuesday, described as disturbing and condemnable the recent reports that some security agents silently arrested some Obidients while adding that elections would not be free and fair when some groups intimidate their opposition, both during campaigns and at the polls.

Meanwhile, in a Twitter post Wednesday, SERAP wrote:

“We’re suing the Buhari administration and Nigeria Police Force over reports of intimidation and attacks on supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate in some parts of the country. Everyone has the right to participation and assembly.”
