Amnesty International, a global human rights watchdog, has accused the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of Security Services (DSS), of abducting innocent Nigerians and failing to release them. The organisation made the accusation in a press statement released on Tuesday, captioned "Nigeria must Show Genuine Commitment to Ending Enforced Disappearances."
