The United Nations on Wednesday condemned the election-related violence, especially the killing of 10 law enforcement agents and security personnel, as well as hate speech in Nigeria.

UN spokesman Stephanie Dujarric said this while fielding questions on the reports of violence in the just-concluded elections.

“We clearly condemn any violence, especially in an electoral period – I mean, violence across the board. It is incumbent on political parties, on civic leaders to work to avoid any violence, to avoid any inflammatory speech. And again, this applies to any electoral process,’’ he said.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) dashboard showed three bomb attacks in Anambra, Borno and Rivers.

The NHRC recorded two attacks on INEC facilities, two attacks by gunmen, 12 political intolerance, and 15 hate speech reports, including the killing of 10 security operatives, destruction of properties at Gombe and Anambra, political intolerance cutting off roads in Kogi.

It also reported the stoning of Governor Mai Mala Buni at an APC rally in Yobe and the cancellation of a PDP rally in Rivers.

In addition, 55 accounts of voter intimidation and suppression were recorded in the South-West-55, 40 were recorded in the South-South, 25 in the South-East, 12 in North-Central, three in North-West, and two in the North-East.

Political violence was also witnessed in an attack on NNPP supporters recorded in Kano and on APC political campaigns in Bauchi. 

Similarly, there was an attack on the Labour House of Representatives candidate in Imo. There was another attack on the wife of the PDP candidate in Zamfara and the attack on the first lady convoy in Nasarawa. There was also an attack on the PDP campaign director-general, Rivers and Lagos attacks on Labour Party supporters.
