…The Government should also take meaningful steps to address the underlying root causes and to ensure non-recurrence of this devastating violence
FRI, DEC 29 2023-theGBJournal| Volker Türk, the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Chief has called on the Federal Government to investigate the Christmas Eve massacre in multiple rural communities in Plateau State, north-central Nigeria, ”promptly, thoroughly and independently, consistent with international human rights law, and to hold those responsible to account in fair trials.”
Volker Türk said he is deeply alarmed by the series of attacks by gunmen on Christmas Eve, that left at least 150 people dead and many injured.
”The cycle of impunity fuelling recurrent violence must be urgently broken. The Government should also take meaningful steps to address the underlying root causes and to ensure non-recurrence of this devastating violence,” he said
