NHRC Warns: Peter Obi’s Claim of Threats to His Life ‘Very Worrisome’

Chief Tony Ojukwu, executive secretary of the National Human Rights Commission, says Peter Obi’s warning that his life is under threat must be taken seriously. He spoke during an interview with a national broadcaster, expressing concern over shrinking civic space ahead of upcoming elections. Ojukwu stressed that every political contestant has a legitimate right to campaign without fear or intimidation. He added that the commission will issue an advisory urging government and political actors to ensure a safe, inclusive environment for all candidates. The NHRC insists it does not need a formal complaint to act on fundamental rights and plans to guide authorities on protecting civic freedoms as the polls approach.
