HEDA Tells Nigerian Government To Stop Harassment Of Sowore
The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre) has asked the Nigerian Government to stop the harassment and intimidation of SaharaReporters Publisher, Omoyele Sowore.
The group said Sowore was kept in detention amidst a rash of court orders -- none of which guaranteed his freedom in recent past.
It said there were concerns in the human rights circle that in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, Sowore's life may be at risk.
Recall that Sowore had raised the alarm over plans by the authorities to rearrest him to a military barracks where he alleged he would be tortured and infected with COVID-19. See Also 
Sowore said he had written through his lawyers to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court to inform him of plots by the Nigerian Army to detain him for revealing "classified information on SaharaReporters".
SaharaReporters had reported that Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, tested positive for Coronavirus. See Also 
HEDA's Chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, said the organisation was worried about the fate of Sowore in the light of growing lockdown occasioned by COVID-19 spread.
Suraju said the group was also touched by the recent outcry from Sowore over alleged plans to endanger his life.
Suraju said, "The Federal Government can better guarantee protection for Sowore and other citizens by issuing a stern and clear warning to officials of government to refrain from any form of political or unwarranted arrest of citizens under the current situation.
“At this period of COVID-19 pandemic, this is a difficult moment for Nigerians who are free. For those in detention, their ordeal will multiply.
“They fall into the category of those that would have been vulnerable if in detention. We are worried about precautions taken by the government to protect Sowore and other citizens from repressive actions of government officials."

UPDATE: Buhari Orders 14-day Lockdown In Lagos, Ogun and FCT Over Coronavirus Outbreak
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday during a nationwide broadcast ordered the restriction of movement in Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, following the outbreak and continued spread of Coronavirus in the country.
The restriction is expected to last for two weeks in the first instance to enable the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and other stakeholders rally all available resources to control the spread of the disease.
Buhari urged citizens in these areas to stay in their homes in order to reduce the risk of contracting the virus.
He equally advised that inter-state travels should be postponed.
According to the President, the containment period will be used to identify, trace and isolate all individuals that had come in contact with confirmed cases, including ensuring the treatment of confirmed cases while restricting further spread to other states.
He said, "Based on the advice of the Federal Ministry of Health and NCDC, I am directing the cessation of all movements in Lagos and FCT for an initial period of 14 days with effect from 11pm on Monday, March 30, 2020.
"This restriction will also apply to Ogun State due to its close proximity to Lagos and the high traffic between the two states."
Nigeria currently has 97 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and one recorded death.

BREAKING: Buhari Bans Movement In And Out Of Lagos, Ogun, FCT Over Coronavirus
President Muhammadu Buhari has banned the movement of persons in and out of Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak.
He made the declaration on Sunday evening during a nationwide broadcast.
According to the President, the decision was taken because Lagos and the FCT had recorded the most cases of the pandemic in the country due to the international airports in both cities, which had allowed travellers from high risk countries for the virus to come into the country.
Buhari said Ogun State was included in the restriction because of its close proximity to Lagos and the fact that it bordered many other states in the South-West.
The President asked Nigerians to put aside their personal comfort to help combat the pandemic, adding that citizens should stay at home to reduce the risk of the virus spreading further.
Buhari said that security agencies would be drafted in to help government’s effort at tackling Coronavirus.
Nigeria currently has 97 confirmed cases of the virus and one recorded death.

Coronavirus: Nigerian Government Evacuates Stranded NCDC Staff From Congo
The Nigerian Government has evacuated staff of the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control stranded in the Republic of Congo.
In a statement, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Republic of Congo, Deborah Iliya, commended the government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs for deploying an aircraft to airlift the stranded personnel back to Nigeria.
According to Iliya, the NCDC staff had travelled to Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, to undergo a special capacity building course by the World Health Organisation in order to expand their knowledge of Coronavirus management.
The statement reads, “The medical team had been stranded following the closure of air and land borders by the host country ostensibly for similar situation.
“In the same vein, the ambassador, on behalf of the Government of Nigeria, has commended the government and good people of the Republic of Congo for the singular act of solidarity and standing on good relations by the temporal opening of her airport to facilitate the departure of the team on March 26, 2020.
“This act has in no small measure further strengthened the bilateral harmony that exists between the two countries.
“This trying moment calls for unity, support for each other and forging a common front against Coronavirus and all that stands against peace.”
At the moment, Africa has 4,480 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and 135 deaths, with 97 infections and one death coming from Nigeria.

Coronavirus: Shehu Sani Says Nigerians May Die Of Hunger Over Lockdown
A former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has called on both the federal and state governments to roll out palliatives to mitigate the effect of the Coronavirus lockdown in most parts of the country.
Sani said the country may witness a situation where citizens would be dying of hunger and starvation after exhausting what they had stockpiled at home.
He added that the situation may lead to an uprising and total breakdown of law and order in an attempt for survival.
Sani said, “When the stock of food and water in the homes of people are exhausted, there will be nothing else left to fear and no law and directives left to obey.”
