At least 237 persons were killed in different attacks across the country in President Bola Tinubu’s first month in office.
A summation of reported cases of killings by Boko Haram, bandits and gunmen across the country in the past 30 days since Mr Tinubu assumed office as president by Peoples Gazette confirms this.
It further shows that at least eight people were killed daily on average under the watch of Mr Tinubu, Nigeria’s new commander-in-chief, who swore to an oath to protect the lives and properties of citizens.
Mr Tinubu’s first week in office was marred by a killing spree that left at least 80 dead across Benue, Zamfara, Sokoto, The Gazette reported.
Days later, Amnesty International lamented killings across the country, estimating the number of citizens killed across the country to be about 120.
However, Mr Tinubu’s party, the All Progressives Congress, dismissed Amnesty International’s outcry as “hypocritical,” asking the human rights institution to cut the new government slack.
With Boko Haram, bandits and gunmen intensifying their nefarious activities across the country, reported cases of killings increased by 117 as of June 29, bringing the number of deaths to 237.
