Gombe Government Denies Amnesty's 'Culture of Impunity' Allegations

The Gombe state government has rejected Amnesty International's claims of a "culture of impunity," stating that ongoing internal probes are addressing the issue. The government emphasized that individuals involved in any misconduct acted in a personal capacity and not on behalf of the governor.

The government maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards thuggery and abuses of power. Amnesty International's rush to press without verifying facts was criticized, with the government warning against politicizing the issue.

Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya's administration reaffirmed its commitment to democratic values and transparency in addressing the matter.
