The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), has faulted the Nigerian military's claims on the arrests of criminals nationwide in 2023 saying the figures by the military were questionable and inconsistent. The human rights organization added that for example, the military claim of “killing 464 South-Easterners in 2023” only confirmed the “suspicions over indiscriminate killing or abduction and permanent disappearance of several hundreds of unarmed South-Easterners by the Military.”
