Amnesty International Indicts Security Agencies, Ebube Agu Over South-East Killings
Amnesty International has accused Nigeria’s police, military, and the South-East security outfit Ebube Agu, alongside non-state actors, of widespread killings, enforced disappearances, torture, and other human rights abuses in the region.
In its report “A Decade of Impunity: Attacks and Unlawful Killings in Southeast Nigeria”, the group said at least 1,844 people were killed between January 2021 and June 2023, with violence linked to security forces, armed groups, vigilantes, cults, and criminal gangs.
The report also highlighted IPOB/ESN’s sit-at-home enforcement, which has led to beatings, killings, economic hardship, and school closures. Amnesty further accused Ebube Agu of arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial executions, and intimidation of political critics.
Amnesty urged the government to end impunity, investigate abuses by all actors, and ensure justice for victims. As of press time, the Nigerian government and security agencies had not responded to the allegations.
