President
Buhari has assured international and local human rights groups of appropriate
response over the report of the judicial inquiry into the clashes between
soldiers and members of the Shiite movement in Nigeria, led by Sheikh Ibrahim
El-Zakzaky.
A statement by
his spokesman, Garba Shehu said the President is studying the details of the
report before announcing appropriate response in due course.
The
President's commitment to human rights remains unchanged because it is a
cardinal component of the democratic order.
It would be
recalled that when the clashes occurred in December, President Buhari had told
the nation during the Presidential Media Chat that he was awaiting the outcome
of the report of inquiry into the incident before making appropriate response.
The present
administration believes in due process and the rule of law; therefore any
response to the report would follow this principle.
The Federal
Government will continue to act in the larger interest of the public to prevent
such violent incidents.
