The online version of the petition created by Omokri Reno, the ex Presidential Aide, is not longer found on the website
The petition was addressed to the International Criminal Court to arraign Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari over the shooting of #ENDSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos.
“This petition isn’t available. Either the URL is incorrect, it violated our Community Guidelines, or the starter removed it,” a message on the petition page said.
However, this is came up after the petition had gathered over 100,000 signatures.
Reacting to the recent incident on his Facebook page today, Reno claimed that it was ‘Hacktivists’ that removed the petition from the website.
He wrote:
“Dear Nigerians, after hitting 100k signatures, the guilty conscience stricken Buhari administration mobilised paid hacktivist to break into our petition and deleted it. They think they have won, but they have not.”
“Their actions only show their guilt and we will press on with #BuhariForPrison2023 to ensure Buhari retires to prison in 2023 for the #LekkiMassacre of innocent, peaceful, unarmed #EndSARS protesters.”
“Thankfully, local and international media already carried the petition before it was hacked. Aluta continua until Buhari is in prison, so help me God!”
