Amnesty: Thousands Killed in Two Years of Violence in North and Central Nigeria

  • Amnesty International reported that over 10,200 people were killed across seven northern Nigerian states in two years ending May 2025, with Benue and Plateau states hardest hit.
  • This violence followed ongoing insecurity marked by Boko Haram and armed bandit attacks, despite President Tinubu's government pledging improved security since May 2023.
  • The report detailed 672 villages destroyed and widespread displacement harming farmers and food security, especially in Zamfara, Plateau, and Benue states where daily attacks persist.
  • Isa Sanusi, Amnesty International's Nigeria Director, criticized President Tinubu's administration, stating that its efforts to address security challenges have failed, leading to a significant worsening of the situation.
  • The findings highlight a growing humanitarian crisis and call for urgent government action to restore safety, protect rights, and provide relief in affected communities.
