The executive secretary of the NHRC, Tony Ojukwu (SAN) who disclosed this at the weekend in Abuja, during the official presentation of the April edition of the monthly dashboard on the state of human rights in Nigeria, said the situation indicates an upsurge in human rights complaints made to his commission and reiterated the need to intensify actions needed in defending citizens’ right.

Ojukwu who lamented on the continued rise in the cases of mass killings including the killing of law enforcement and members of the armed forces also raised alarm on the rise in the cases of violence against children, the media and cautioned that economic reforms should not be implemented without considering the enjoyment of human rights of citizens.

He said the monthly dashboard is borne out of the necessity by the Commission to monitor, investigate and report on human rights in real time.

„The dashboard is a unique and distinctive initiative of the Commission that presents infographic reports on where we stand on human rights in the country.
