The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered a review of a report by Amnesty International alleging extrajudicial killings and human rights violations in the South-East.
The 128-page report, titled “A Decade of Impunity: Attacks and Unlawful Killings in South-East Nigeria,” accused the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies of committing abuses in the region.
In a statement on Saturday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the IG directed relevant departments and field formations to conduct a line-by-line assessment of the report.
He added that the review would compare the allegations with operational records, field intelligence, and reports from commands and tactical units in the South-East.
