Nigeria’s National Human Rights Commission has reported over 200,000 complaints in May alone, highlighting a troubling rise in violations nationwide.

The Commission’s latest report links the increase to widespread insecurity, especially in the northern region, which continues to displace thousands and fuel abuses.

It also underscores systemic neglect and a deepening humanitarian crisis affecting vulnerable populations, including women and children.

Officials are calling for urgent policy reforms and improved security to curb the growing wave of human rights violations across the country.
