Nigeria’s worsening human rights crisis
The National Human Rights Commission’s (NHRC) revelation that it received 326,113 human rights complaints in June alone is horrifying. This amounts to over 11,000 every single day. It is a devastating portrait of a nation where constitutional rights are increasingly under siege and where too many citizens live in fear rather than freedom. Behind every complaint is a violated right, a shattered family, a frightened child or a citizen whose faith in the state’s protection has been eroded. This is not merely a statistic. It is an indictment as well.
