Amnesty International Report Exposes Widespread Killings in Southeast Nigeria

Amnesty International's report on the Southeast of Nigeria reveals a decade of impunity and violence by state and non-state actors, resulting in over 1,800 unlawful killings from January 2021 to June 2023. The report calls for thorough investigations and justice for victims, criticizing the government's failure to address the security crisis.

The region has seen a rise in killings by gunmen and paramilitary groups, with incidents of targeted executions and attacks on public and private properties. Amnesty International emphasizes the need for law enforcement to act within the law and for authorities to tackle the complex security situation in the Southeast.
