Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has urged those practicing citizens journalism on social media to stop trivializing the arms deal as this will go a long way in portraying Nigeria as an unserious nation in the eyes of the foreigners.

National Coordinator of Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA Emmanuel Onwubiko who briefed the media in Abuja condemned the way and manner those mentioned in the arms deal worth Thirty two billion dollars are being treated on social media even before they are convicted by a court of law.

The rights agitator accused the All Progressive Party led government of grandstanding with the arms procurement deal, adding that the party is deliberately leaking out information to citizens through the social media to preempt the court judgments and malign the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in the eyes of citizens.

Meanwhile an Abuja high court on Monday postponed the hearing on bail application of the former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki and others arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
