Human rights activist and lawyer, Chidi Odinkalu, has reminded Nigerian politicians of the need to invest in the country’s health infrastructure, stressing that those who die abroad are returned to the country as cargo consignments.
Mr Odinkalu stated this on Sunday while reflecting on the demise of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Nigeria’s current rulers may need to be reminded: Those who die in foreign hospitals only get to return to the country as cargo.
“They don’t pass through @immigrationng. Rather we clear them through @CustomsNG as imports. If you don’t want this, build a hospital that can work for you.”
Mr Odinkalu further reflected on how the remains of scores of Shiites massacred during the reign of Mr Buhari were conveyed in trucks.
“I remember today all the #Shiites liquidated in the #ZariaMassacre in Dec 2015 under the orders of the C-In-C, including 3 sons of Sheikh El-Zakzaky. Their remains were transported in at least 47 trucks & buried in #MassGraves in Mando Kaduna,” he added
