This was disclosed in a statement sent to sent media houses and signed by AI’s acting director, Isa Sanusi.

He insisted that attacks by gunmen had claimed 123 people in the two weeks Mr Tinubu had been president.

He said:

“It is horrific that attacks by gunmen have claimed at least 123 lives mere weeks after President Bola Tinubu assumed office on 29 May. Rural communities, always bracing themselves for the next bout of violence, are facing deadly attacks by rampaging killers. Protecting lives should be the utmost priority of the new government. The Nigerian authorities must urgently take steps to stop the bloodletting,” Mr Sanusi said.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress has expressed shock over the claim by Amnesty International.

According to the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, frowned at the report, saying it was a hasty conclusion that was far from reality.

He said it was ‘uncharitable and inconsiderate’ of Amnesty International to accuse the new government that is just settling down of dereliction of duty.

Going further, accused the watchdog of “sheepishly gloating over the unfortunate incidents”.
