Vanguard reports that the Executive Director of the group,
Comrade Melvin Ejeh, while addressing the protesters, said if in the next 24
hours Amnesty International does not shut down its operations in Nigeria and
leave the country, the group as well as other Nigerians shall begin a Five-Day
Occupy Amnesty International Protest as a first warning.
He said: “Let us warn at this point that there will be no
interval of respite if AI fails to leave Nigeria at the end of the five days as
we will activate other more profound options to make the organization leave
Nigeria. We therefore use this opportunity to call on Nigerians to join the
movement to get this evil out of our land before it plunges us into real war.”
Protesters occupy AI office, say it should vacate Nigeria
within 24hrs.

According to Ejeh, well respected organizations including
the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Global Amnesty Watch have
condemned the recent report by amnesty international which alleged human rights
abuses by Nigerian security agencies against arrested Boko Haram suspects.
He said the deliberate attempt by Amnesty International to
indict the security agencies working day and night to restore peace in troubled
parts of the country without condemning the heinous crimes committed by Boko
Haram terrorists proves that the international organization has ulterior
motives.
Unfortunately, if this organization is allowed to continue
carrying out its atrocities here, it will destabilize Nigeria.”

“Unlike our leaders, most of us do not have the resources to
relocate our loved ones to other lands if Amnesty International succeeds in
ruining this nation down. Like the victims of AI’s operation in the
Middle-East, we would be left without a country and we would not be welcomed in
other nations.
We will become mere footnotes in its next annual report
since it stops showing interest in places it has successfully destroyed.”
Speaking further, he said recent revelation by Haaretz, an
Israeli newspaper, has indicated that Israel used Amnesty International as a
front for its foreign ministry.
