Global non-governmental organisation focused on human rights, Amnesty International has berated President Tinubu security measures in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks in the country.
The organisation in a statement while reacting to the latest Plateau Christmas eve killings lamented the brazen failure of the authorities to protect the people of Nigeria.
Read their statement below:
“Amnesty International condemns the killing of over 70 people in fresh attacks by gunmen on some communities of Bokkos and parts of Barkin-Ladi LGA of Plateau State. The attacks that started in the night of Saturday also left dozens of people injured and displaced.
“While search is also ongoing for dozens of people missing since the attack, again and again, the Nigerian authorities have been failing to end frequent deadly attacks on rural communities of Plateau state.
“The brazen failure of the authorities to protect the people of Nigeria is gradually becoming the ‘norm.’ President Bola Tinubu said he will enact security measures in response to these attacks, but these promises have — so far — proven to be empty”.
