Amnesty International calls for investigation into alleged violence during Kano re-run polls

Amnesty International calls for investigation into alleged violence during Kano re-run polls

Amnesty International has urged the Federal Government to investigate alleged cases of political thuggery and violence on journalists and electorate during the supplementary election conducted in Kano State.

Amnesty International Spokesperson, Isa Sanusi, made the call in an interview with BBC Hausa service in Damaturu, Yobe. While condemning the alleged human rights violation during the election, the rights group therefore call on President Muhammadu Buhari to launch an investigation into the issue.

Sanusi alleged that extensive electoral security problems were observed in some areas, with groups of men with weapons intimidating and obstructing the process, and security agencies ineffective at protecting citizens’ right to vote.

INEC on Sunday declared Abdullahi Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress winner of the governorship supplementary election. The European Union Election Observation Mission on Monday said that it witnessed organized violence and intimidation of voters during Saturday’s rerun in parts of Kano, Bauchi and Benue States.
