Rivers Crisis: Attorneys Demonstrate in Abuja, Call for U.S. Intervention

A coalition of human rights attorneys demonstrated in Abuja on Wednesday, calling on the U.S. to intervene and reverse President Bola Tinubu's suspension of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the State Assembly, which they deemed unconstitutional. The group, known as Lawyers in Defence of Democracy, urged the U.S. government to exert pressure on Tinubu to reinstate democratic governance, denouncing the emergency rule as an attack on Nigeria's constitutional framework.
