Meanwhile, the United States government has accused some of the security agencies in Nigeria including the military, police, and the Department of State Services (DSS) of impunity fuelled by corruption and a weak judiciary.

The American government said it has documented evidence of significant human rights abuses by the security agents, arbitrary killings, and unlawful detention of civilian citizens in harsh prison conditions.

It also accused the government of serious restrictions on free expression and media, including violence or threats against journalists.

Naija News reports the allegations are contained in the US Department of State 2021 country reports on human rights practices published on its website on Tuesday.

It further pointed out that general serious government corruption exists almost unchecked.
