Atotal of 122 complaints of alleged human rights abuse were received by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Kano State in July.
NHRC coordinator in the state, Shehu Abdullahi, disclosed this in an interview on Tuesday in Kano.
He said that 82 of the 122 cases had been treated, while the remaining 40 were pending.
According to him, 40 of the cases border on women’s rights, while 50 have to do with abandonment of family responsibility, sexual violence, domestic violence, and rape.
“The remaining 32 cases received during the period under review are on child labour, unlawful arrest, detention, and torture,” he said.
The coordinator added that the commission mediated some marital matters between couples and families.
