The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, yesterday chided Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mallam Garba Shehu, for comment purportedly supporting open grazing of cattle across the country.
This is as the rights group said it is unprecedented in the political annals of Nigeria that “a political office holder picked by the President elected by all Nigerians, to be used consistently as the public relations officer of the ethnicity and religious platforms of both himself and his boss who holds office on behalf of the entire Nigerians.”
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has claimed that the Ebonyi State Government and the police command in the state lied over the detonated ‘bomb’ which killed a policeman on Tuesday.

However, the state’s police command debunked the report, saying a police officer mistakenly hit the lead of his grenade which was hanging on his waist with his elbow resulting in the deadly explosion.
