Amnesty International (AI) has said that Boko Haram terrorists group must end its campaign of vicious and unlawful killings and abduction, which have increasingly made life precarious.
In a tweet on Thursday, the international human rights organisation said the spate of attacks and abductions by the insurgents shows the highest level of impunity and determination to sustain their reign of terror.
“Boko Haram must end its campaign of vicious and unlawful killings and abductions that increasingly make life precarious,” it said.
“Once again we strongly condemn #BokoHaram’s brazen lack of respect for the sanctity of life that lead killings in the recent days.”
It added that BokoHaram had been unleashing terror, killing, burning, maiming and destroying since 2009.
“When will this reign of terror end?” it asked.
Amnesty International recalled its documentation of the insurgency, a report titled ‘Our job is to shoot, slaughter and kill’: Boko Haram’s reign of terror in north east Nigeria’, which was released in April 2015.
This came after a team of Federal Government’s experts on oil exploration at Lake Chad Basin were abducted by the terrorists on Tuesday.
The bodies of 48 members of the team have been brought to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH).
