Nigeria: Instantly killed! How law enforcement failures exacerbate Nigeria’s wave of mob violence

28 Oct 2024

Mob violence has spread with impunity in Nigeria in the last decade. This upsurge in mob violence, including violence against women and children, has led to nationwide condemnation and calls for justice from surviving victims, their families and human rights advocates. This alarming increase prompted Amnesty International to investigate and document the human rights violations arising from such cases. The nature and pattern of mob violence differs between the south and the north of Nigeria. In this briefing, Amnesty International presents a sample of ten cases out of those documented across the country.
