Investigate Shooting Of Female Student, Shiite Protesters, Amnesty International Tells Nigerian Government

Rights group, Amnesty International, has asked the Nigerian Government to immediately launch a thorough investigation into the shooting of a female student and peaceful Shiite protesters in Abuja.

AI in a statement by Isa Sanusi, Media Manager, Amnesty International Nigeria said, "Verified video footage and eyewitness testimonies confirmed that police officers fired live ammunition at IMN protestors as they rounded up their daily peaceful protest in Abuja demanding the release of their leader Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.

“This frequent resort to shooting at peaceful protesters with live ammunition is another stain on Nigeria’s human rights record.

"The authorities must immediately end this brutal and deadly crackdown on peaceful protestors and show respect for human life."

The group called on the Nigerian Government to remedy it's dwindling human rights record by investigating the shootings.
