The third quarterly human rights report by Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC) documents the trend of human rights violations and developments in Nigeria between July and September 2022. In the quarter, several incidents relating to the violation of civil and political rights were reported. The report also highlights the responses of security agencies to some of the abuses reported to them. However, insecurity remains a huge concern, with violent attacks and threats across the country.
According to the report, human rights protection in Nigeria is at an abysmal level. In a democratic society, respect, protection and fulfilment of human rights are expected to improve over time. However, this can only be achieved if the government through its agencies displays regard for people’s rights, in the discharge of their duties and intervene to ensure that citizens also respect the rights of fellow citizens.
