Amnesty International has said the federal government led by President Bola Tinubu has no effective plan to end years of attacks by armed groups in Nigeria.
The statement was revealed in a post on Amnesty’s verified X
handle on Sunday.
According to the rights group, the latest mass abduction of
166 people from three churches in Kurmin Wali village, Kajuru Local Government
Area of Kaduna State, highlights the failure of the government’s security
measures.
“The latest mass abduction clearly shows President Bola
Tinubu and his government have no effective plan for ending years of atrocities
by armed groups and gunmen that killed thousands of people.
“Whatever security measures being implemented by President
Tinubu and his government are clearly not working,” the post said.
The human rights organisation said residents of Kurmin Wali
and families of the abducted told them that gunmen invaded the village and went
from one church to another, dragging worshippers away.
Amnesty also noted that the police and Kaduna State
government immediately denied the incident, dismissing it as fake news or
attributing it to so-called opposition.
