Amnesty International on Wednesday condemned the recent massacre in Plateau, lamenting that Nigerian authorities are encouraging impunity by failing to arrest mastermind of murders in the country.

It said verified estimated figures indicate that since January 2018, at least 1813 people have been murdered in 17 states, which is double the 894 people killed in 2017.

The body added that the death tolls reflect killings as a result of farmers-herders conflict, communal clashes, Boko Haram attacks and banditry.

“We are gravely concerned about the rising spate of killings across the country, especially the communal clashes between farmers and herders and attacks by bandits across at least 17 states,” said Osai Ojigho Director Amnesty International Nigeria

“The authorities have a responsibility to protect lives and properties, but they are clearly not doing enough going by what is happening” said Osai Ojigho

“The latest incidence in Plateau state, where armed gunmen attacked 11 villages on 23 June for at least seven hours and killed at least 200 villagers without intervention from security forces should be investigated.”

“That the violence in Plateau started after an attack, which was followed by reprisal attacks from Thursday 21 shows unacceptable security lapses.

“Despite the deployment of security forces, including the military in over 30 states, the escalation of these attacks shows that whatever is being done by authorities is not working.

“There is urgent need for people who are suspected of committing crimes to be held accountable.

“We hope that President Buhari’s commitment to bring those suspected to be criminally responsible for the killings in Plateau state to justice will break the impunity that has spread through the country.”

“In addition, government must answer these questions: who are these attackers, where do they come from, where do they go after attacks, who arms them, why is security forces’ response time very slow?”

Amnesty International added that it is currently investigating the rising insecurity that has resulted in the increase in killings across Nigeria.

Buhari is a disaster. Failure per excellence.

Nigeria has become a killing field. Nigeria is forever doomed and hopeless beyond redemption. Life no longer has worth or value in this doomed nation.
No hope! No hope!! No hope!!! for Nigeria and for Africa.
Even the Devil has more hope of making heaven than for Nigeria to ever progress.
Even common football all African countries don carry their load come back including those people wey think say na fashion parade them go with jersey...

Get your PVC

All the atrocities happening in this country has buhari's name written on them

He's a sponsor of bokoharam, reason he was named as a mediator
He has used nepotism to paralyse this country
His deafening silence and bedroom encouragement has made fulani terrorists the boldest killers in present Nigeria
Every nook and cranny of this country is riddled with corruption because of his selective fight against corruption.
There is intimidation of outspoken people

Buhari is not good for Nigeria. I know at the end, he'll pay..he'll pay but right now he needs to leave the seat of power

Buhari is a terrorist Who belongs in the Hague

Useless country if i hv my way i chase everybody out then leave only buhari in it so tht he will rule

Ok

More coming
the terrorist are not yet done.

The most funniest part is that people will still vote for them... It is really weird....

The bible said, don't be unequally yoked.

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Yet Adeboye ignored this and gave Buhari his support,



Now we have this murderous govt!




Please blame Adeboye for helping this terrible govt for coming to power



Yet Adeboye is calling to mix Christianity & Islam as seen in video

Redeemed is full of pastors trying to mix islam with Christianity.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et7_HRHQ-CY

lets be sincere Redeemed is not Christian

Gworo-stained teeth individuals will soon carry tattered placards in front of Amnesty International's office....protesting what they know nothing about.

Each of those killers, their sponsors, facilitators and sympathisers will be visited by death before the end of this year.

When government is about crashing down you will know through Amnesty International report ,it never left Jonathan government until it went crashing down.

Nigeria a country terrorized by her own leaders

It is said dat any grasshopper killed by a locomotive is deaf. Nigerians have really proved this saying true. How can any sane man vote buhari 4 president especially christians after all d warnings n his past bigotries? Now they are asking me to pray.

weekdays:
cursed country!!!

I just pray to Almighty God never to allow Buhari win next year's election even though I'm an APC member.

Get your PVC

PVC won’t change anything but ti change new set of goats that would eat our yams, new set of thieves in power with their usual empty promise. Was it not PVC that brought the like of Shehu Sani, hypocrite Ben Bruce and the so-called youthful governor of Kogi state Yahaya Bello yet they all have failed as the country is doomed and structured to fail

Whites should stop giving a damn about us.
We asked for independence because we believed they were robbing us and we got the independence we are no longer their responsibility if we can't rule ourselves we should call them back to come and colonize us. We can't eat our cake and have it. If we want to be their responsibility, they should as well be our ruler.
Those of you crying to US and UK to come and rescue us, they don't owe us anything.

The black race is just a huge load the rest of the world is carrying along thats why they will forever see us as inferior. Ask yourself what Africa has contributed to the development of the world I mean Africa not Africans in USA

What people in power need to do is call this government what it is. An incompetent and evil disaster.

All countries in UN must voice their disapproval of buhari.

No comment!

If Buhari had any honour/integrity, he should just resign having been an unmitigated failure.
