Amnesty International Condemns Mob Lynching of Pastor Dio Idon in Southern Kaduna, Demands Investigation
Amnesty International has strongly condemned the mob killing of Pastor Dio Idon in southern Kaduna, Nigeria, over allegations of witchcraft following the death of his brother. The pastor, who served at ECWA Ungwan Shaawa LC, Kasuwan Magani DCC, was reportedly lynched and burned to ashes by members of his community on January 4, 2026.
The global human rights body described the incident as a disturbing example of growing mob violence in Nigeria and called for a thorough investigation to hold perpetrators accountable. Amnesty International highlighted that such acts violate fundamental human rights and reflect systemic failures in law enforcement and justice.
The organisation urged the Nigerian government to investigate the killing, ensure justice for all involved, and implement measures to prevent mob violence, stressing that allegations of crime must be handled strictly through lawful means in line with domestic and international human rights standards.
