Amnesty International has said that President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has shown gross incompetence in handling insecurity in Nigeria.
According to the international organisation, Nigeria authorities lethargy had fueled impunity and allowed killings to spread across the country.
Amnesty International stated this in a series of tweets on its Twitter handle on Wednesday, in response to Boko Haram sacking of Geidam, a town in Yobe State and the general insecurity in every part of the country.
The group wrote, “The authorities’ lethargy has allowed impunity to flourish and the killings to spread to many parts of the country, inflicting greater suffering on communities who already live in constant fear of the next attack.
“The Nigerian government has displayed what can only be described as gross incompetence and has failed in its duty to protect the lives of its population and end the intensifying insecurity.
“#BokoHaram sacked #Geidam; a town in Yobe tate northeast #Nigeria. They killed many, including slaughtering a teacher and looted food items.”
