Amnesty International Exposes Unlawful Killings, Media Suppression, EndSARS Crackdown, And Other Human Rights Violations Under Late Buhari’s Administration Amnesty International has documented widespread human rights abuses during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who governed Nigeria from 2015 to 2023. The report alleges unlawful killings by security forces, extrajudicial executions of pro-Biafra activists, violent crackdowns on #EndSARS protesters, attacks on journalists, and abuses against women affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. According to the rights group, systemic failures in accountability and justice under Buhari’s leadership enabled these violations, leaving thousands dead and undermining press freedom and civil liberties nationwide.
