GROUP RAISES THE ALARM OVER PRESENCE OF HAMAS CHIEF IN NIGERIA, WARNS OF
SECURITY IMPLICATIONS

NewsexpressngrFeb 20, 2024Read original




Pro-integrity group, IPC Justice, has raised the alarm over the presence of
Ghazi Hamad, the Minister of Social Development in the Hamas Government of Gaza,
in Nigeria.



“We express our utmost concern and condemnation regarding the presence of Ghazi
Hamad, a Minister of Social Development in the Hamas Government of Gaza, in
Nigeria,” the group said in a statement published on its X handle, @ipcjustice,
and copied @NGRPresident, @NuhuRibadu, and @DefenceInfoNG.



According to the “URGENT STATEMENT: CONDEMNATION OF GHAZI HAMAD’S PRESENCE IN
NIGERIA,” “Hamad’s affiliation with Hamas, a designated terrorist organization,
poses an unacceptable risk to the safety and security of Nigerian citizens.



“It is imperative to recognize that Hamas has been responsible for numerous acts
of violence and terrorism against innocent civilians, including attacks
targeting Israeli citizens and military personnel. Israel has rightfully
declared its intention to pursue and apprehend members of Hamas wherever they
may be found, underscoring the seriousness of the threat posed by individuals
associated with this organization.”



IPC Justice in the statement dated Feb 14, 2024, gave no idea of when Hamad
entered Nigeria, his mission and in which part of the country he is staying.



It, however, warned that; “The decision to allow Ghazi Hamad entry into Nigeria
raises grave concerns about potential security implications and undermines the
safety of our nation. Given Israel’s unequivocal stance on targeting members of
Hamas worldwide, Hamad’s presence here poses an unnecessary risk to the lives
and well-being of Nigerian citizens.”



Tabling its demands, IPC Justice called upon the Nigerian government to take
immediate and decisive action to address this matter, specifically to ensure:



1. The immediate expulsion of Ghazi Hamad from Nigerian territory, in line with
our commitment to combatting terrorism and ensuring national security.



2. Enhanced vigilance and monitoring of individuals associated with designated
terrorist organizations to prevent further threats to public safety.



3. Transparency and accountability in immigration processes to prevent the entry
of individuals with known affiliations to terrorist entities.



4. Responsible journalism and media practices, including thorough vetting of
guests and consideration of potential security risks, to avoid inadvertently
endangering the public.



“Furthermore, we call upon media organizations to exercise caution and
responsibility in their programming decisions, refraining from providing
platforms to individuals associated with terrorist organizations without careful
consideration of the potential consequences.



“The safety and security of Nigerian citizens must always remain paramount, and
we urge the government to take swift and decisive action to address this urgent
matter,” IPC Justice said.
