 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results. Chairman of the union in the FCT, Mr Abdullahi Shafa, explained that the nationwide solidarity protest was to condemn the killing of the teacher and abduction of the school chil...

UNREST IN LOS ANGELES OVER IMMIGRATION RAIDS AS TROOPS SENT BY TRUMP FAN OUT. (PHOTO).

 


Over the weekend, protests erupted in LA over ICE raids that led to the arrest of 118 immigrants. Police responded with tear gas & mass arrests. Pres. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops, w/out the governor’s consent. What you need to know.


Demonstrators clashed with law enforcement across Los Angeles, Compton, and Paramount, many gathering outside the Metropolitan Detention Center. Peaceful protesters were met with flash bangs, rubber bullets, and pepper spray. Some were arrested just for blocking traffic.


This is the first time since the 1960s the fed. government has sent in National Guard troops without a governor’s approval. Governor Newsom called it unlawful. Mayor Karen Bass said LA is a "tinderbox" and warned that this show of force is “an intentional effort to sow chaos.”


RFK Human Rights documents these human rights abuses, not just in California, but across the country.


In Louisiana alone:

💰 $3.4B/year in ICE funding

👥 7,000+ detained daily

🏚 98% in for-profit prisons

❌ Abuse includes: shackles, solitary confinement, physical and sexual abuse, medical neglect.


Last week, we submitted a report to the UN Special Rapporteur on Summary, Extrajudicial or Arbitrary Executions, detailing patterns of lethal force by U.S. law enforcement  and the systemic lack of accountability. Because when peaceful protest is met with military force, and when human suffering is treated as a business model, we have a duty to act.


As the world watches how U.S. officials respond to peaceful dissent, we urge them to remember: People have the right to speak out against human rights abuses and the pocketing of taxpayer funds by private prison CEOs at the heart of immigration detention. 


And governments have a duty to protect civic space.
