The protesters had accused the
human rights group of blackmailing the military.
In the video, women – some had children strapped to their backs – were seen struggling to get
their own share.
“Madam, give us N500,” a woman
said in pidgin, to which a fair-complexioned lady in charge of the money
responded, also in pidgin, “If you tear my cloth; you wan tear my cloth?”
The lady managed to escape into a
waiting car and fled almost immediately.
An official of the organisation
who spoke off the record on Wednesday morning had said the protest
was stage- managed.
“This is not a coincidence. We
are launching a report tomorrow and they came here today,” the official had
said.
On Thursday, Amnesty will release
a report showing how women who fled Boko Haram conflict were abused in military
run camps or detention.
Below is a video of the
protesters:
