The British High Commission has
reacted to Tuesday’s siege at the National Assembly.
The European country stated that
it would only accept a democratic process that recognises the rights of
Nigerians to participate in election process.
“We are aware of media reports of
a situation at the National Assembly this morning. We are closely monitoring
the situation and other political developments in Nigeria.
“The United Kingdom supports a
process whereby the people of Nigeria can exercise their democratic right to
vote and be voted for.
“We favour a free, fair, credible
and peaceful process and the independence of institutions, which allow for
that,” Joe Abuku, spokesperson for the UK Embassy in Abuja, said in a
statement.
Senator Ben Bruce had stated that
“anti-democratic” agents would be reported to foreign countries.
He said this while condemning the
invasion of the country’s legislative building by the Department of State
Security (DSS).
The lawmaker vowed that he and
his colleagues (pro-Saraki Senators), would report President Muhamadu Buhari,
the DSS, Nigeria Police among others to the international community.
