Rights group: Nigeria ignores sectarian violence

None

Human Rights Watch accuses Nigeria's government of largely ignoring years of "mass murder" in two states by failing to prosecute known perpetrators who have burned victims alive and hacked or shot to death others because of their tribe or religion.

 

The New York-based advocacy group in a report published Thursday detailed "horrific sectarian violence" that has killed more than 3,000 since 2010 in the central Plateau and Kaduna states. (AP)
