467 Nigerians Killed In Kaduna, Benue, Katsina, Plateau In July, August 2024 – NHRC
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) says at least, 467 Nigerians were killed Kaduna, Benue, Katsina and Plateau States between July and August, 2024.

The Commission disclosed this on Friday in a report on its July and August, 2024 human rights situation in Nigeria.

Mr Hillary Ogbona, the Senior Human Rights Adviser to the Executive Secretary of the NHRC, signed the report.

It also said that about 1, 200 #EndBadGovernance# protesters have so far been arrested and detained by security agencies across the country.

While the Commission said that some of the protesters had been charged to court, it, however, expressed grave concern that they were detained beyond the period permitted by law before being taken to court.

Ogbona, in the report also said 414,200 complaints against human rights abuses were received by the Commission across the country in the last two months.

According to him, between July and August, a total of 142 killings were recorded in Kaduna, 137 in Benue, Katsina recorded 112 killings and 76 killings recorded in Plateau State.

The Commission insisted that protest is not a crime in Nigeria but a legitimate way of expressing grievances against unfavourable government policies and programmes.

He said : “Government should not attempt to stop protest but to guide it.

“At the same time, the government should not lump genuine protesters with criminals.

“Looting and destruction of private and public properties are not protests but acts of criminalities which should not be regarded as part of peaceful protests.

“From this side, it is a fact that private and public properties were looted during the last protest and we hereby appeal to the government to identify and evaluate the losses of victims for the purpose of supporting them as some of the victims may not be able to rise again.”

He appealed to the government to adopt a human rights approach to lawful protests.

The report added that government should endeavour to look into the root cause of protests in the country, which he said may not be far from economic and political situations in the country.

The NHRC specifically pleaded with the Federal Government to learn how to manage protests as lawful ways for aggrieved Nigerians to state their positions so as to avoid anarchy in the country.

The senior human rights Adviser said the Commission was monitoring the prosecution of the protesters in court.

He said charging them with treason, the government must get its intelligence and facts clear in the allegations.

According to Ogbona, the Commission had in the last two months, witnessed astronomical increase in mass killings, abductions, attacks on police stations, attacks on press freedom, violation of the rights of association and assembly, killing of law enforcement and members of the Armed Forces, cases of violence against children, minors and child abandonment.

Speaking earlier, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Prof Tony Ojukwu, SAN, condemned the use of brutal force by security agents against the protesters last month.

While pointing out that the #EndBadGovernance# protest was people’s quest for good governance, the NHRC boss urged the government to take sustainable action in ensuring the protection of the people affected by displacement.    (vitalnewsngr.com)
