Human Rights Violations: The Ignored Root of Insecurity in Nigeria

By Comrade Sundrix Ogor

Nigeria’s worsening insecurity is not just a product of crime and extremism—it is fueled by unchecked human rights violations. From police brutality to unlawful detentions, citizens often suffer at the hands of the very institutions meant to protect them. This erosion of trust pushes communities toward self-help, vigilante justice, and even support for non-state armed groups.

As Acting Coordinator of the IHRC in Rivers State, I have witnessed firsthand how fear, abuse, and impunity drive instability. The absence of justice creates a breeding ground for chaos. When citizens lose faith in the law, the result is anarchy.

To address insecurity, we must prioritise accountability. Security agencies need human rights training, independent oversight must be strengthened, and victims must be heard and protected. Civil society must also play its part in bridging the gap between the people and the state.

The IHRC remains committed to defending human dignity. But sustainable peace can only be achieved when justice is no longer selective, and rights are no longer optional. A secure Nigeria begins with a just Nigeria.
