No fewer than 1,000 civilians were reportedly killed while 1,400 houses were razed in Imo State between January 2021 and June 30, 2023, under Governor Hope Uzodinma, according to the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety).
The Intersociety also asserted that at least 3,700 people arbitrarily were arrested and that 320 others disappeared without traces.
It added that no fewer than 200 unarmed citizens were also arrested under false labeling and taken into custody where they were most likely being tortured or threatened with custodial death.
This was contained in a review of its special investigative reports on the genocidal situation of Christians in Nigeria and the Imo mass atrocities issued on April 10/June 12 and May 21, 2023.
