The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Tuesday expressed concerns over the rising loss of lives through road accidents, infringing on right to life. The commission also highlighted the excessive use of force by security personnel against protesters in the country.
During the presentation of its eighth monthly dashboard report at its headquarters in Abuja, the NHRC expressed dismay over these issues, noting a continued rise in human rights complaints over the past month.
The Senior Human Rights Adviser to the NHRC, Hilary Ogbonna, who presented the report on behalf of the commission, said 305,300 complaints of abuses were recorded in September, an additional increase of 76,751 compared to August’s report.
