Intersociety’s disclosure underscores growing concerns about the handling of #EndSARS-related arrests and the plight of missing protesters. Rights groups have repeatedly accused authorities of operating outside due process, while families continue to seek justice for their missing loved ones.

The organization urged immediate international intervention, insisting that “these findings expose the scale of secret detentions and unlawful killings linked to the 2020 #EndSARS crackdown.”
