A coalition of civil society organisations has charged the Nigerian government to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past that led to severe human rights violations.

The groups expressed concern over Nigeria’s tarnished international reputation following incidents such as the 2015 incident which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people.

In a statement jointly signed by Comrade Kristopher Allen, Barrister Hasan Bala Esq, PhD, Comrade Godwin Ecoja, Comrade Mabel Bremah, Comrade O. Abdulhakeem, Comrade Halima Bukar, and N.W. Geoffrey Esq, the coalition highlighted the ongoing challenges facing Nigeria, particularly in relation to its ethnic and religious diversity.

“The government must learn from the past and ensure that such tragic events are never repeated. Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity, and we must work together to protect the rights of all citizens, regardless of their religious or ethnic background,” said Comrade Allen.

The statement emphasised the importance of ensuring that all religious groups, including Shia Muslims, are allowed to practice their faith peacefully to maintain national peace and harmony.

The coalition outlined several strategies to prevent future crises, including strengthening legal frameworks that guarantee freedom of religion, promoting dialogue and inclusivity, reforming security sector practices, and engaging with communities to foster trust and cooperation.

“Dialogue and inclusivity are key to preventing conflicts and maintaining peace. The government must take proactive steps to engage with all stakeholders and ensure that no group feels marginalised,” added Barr. Hasan.

The groups also called for public awareness campaigns to reduce prejudices and misconceptions, as well as the establishment of independent bodies to monitor religious freedoms and hold perpetrators of abuses accountable.

“We must educate the public to reduce the ignorance and prejudices that fuel conflicts. An informed society is a peaceful society,” they said.

The statement further highlighted the overstretching of Nigeria’s security institutions due to the ongoing battles against banditry and the Boko Haram insurgency.

The coalition warned that the country cannot afford another uprising due to economic hardship or perceived oppression, citing recent events such as the EndSARS protests and Shia Muslim uprisings.
