ABUJA FCT – Human Right activist, Comrade Shehu Sani has reacted to the violence against blacks, muslims and Asians in the United Kingdom by far right groups, saying that the lesson to learn is that your country is where you belong – there is no place like home.
The federal lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, who took to his X account to disclose this, however noted that the racism and hate violence doesn’t reflect the attitudes of all British citizens.
Shehu Sani’s remarks about the racism in United Kingdom reads:
“The resentment and violence against Blacks, Muslims and Asians in the Uk by far right groups is a lesson and a message that your country is where you belong. We must however note that the racism and hate violence doesn’t reflect the attitudes of all British citizens.But the message is clear.”
Precise Post recalls that unrest grips cities in England over the past few days in the wake of the killings of three young girls in Southport on Monday.
The country has been engulfed by racist riots over the past few days, in the wake of the killings of three young girls in Southport on Monday.
Riots in cities including Liverpool, Leeds and Belfast descended into chaos over the weekend, with far-right thugs clashing with riot police and multiple incidents of ethnic minorities attacked on the streets.
False claims had spread online that the Southport suspect, later identified as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana from Lancashire, was a Muslim asylum seeker who had arrived in the UK by boat.
Sparked by Islamophobic and racist sentiments, rioters have pelted bricks, chairs and bottles at officers, mosques have been attacked, shops looted and numerous community facilities across the country, including a library and Citizens Advice Bureau building, have been torched in the violence.
The lessoj for Nigerian political elites is to stop to capital flight – situation where public funds meant to be used for public good are stolen by political office holders and transfered to foreign countries for safe custody.
