The United Nations, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Agnes Callamard has called on the Federal Government and the international community to pay special attention to the lingering violence in the north-central.
Callamard at a news conference in Abuja said the situation in the north-central appears to be spreading to other parts of the country. She said there is need for urgent actions to end the violence which is claiming thousands of lives.
The UN official noted that the conference was called to share her findings on “arbitrary deprivations” in the country.
She also called for more attention to the north-east where victims of violence could share their experiences, and stressed the need to bring perpetrators to book to make them account for the violations.
Callamard also emphasised the need to involve the victims in the search for solutions, and particularly called for the creation of a safe space where victims could share and talk about what happened to them.ork/re��zƸY
