Human Right Watch Urges Jonathan To Sack Maurice Iwu by rebranded(m): 8:48pm On Feb 12, 2010
An international human rights group, Human Rights Watch, has called on Nigeria’s Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan, to dismiss the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Maurice Iwu, in order to enhance the much needed electoral reform.

HRW, in a letter to Mr. Jonathan asked for the dismissal of Mr. Iwu and a comprehensive and impartial investigation into widespread election abuses committed during and since the 2007 elections.

The body urged the Acting President to take immediate and concrete steps to address large-scale violence, endemic corruption, a lack of accountability for abuses, and other pressing human rights problems in the country.

They called on Mr. Jonathan to address the problem of impunity, by ensuring that the police conduct a prompt and thorough criminal investigation, with prosecutions, into the outbreak of sectarian violence in Jos and massacre of at least 150 people in Kuru Karama, earlier in January.

It also called for a criminal investigation into the extrajudicial killings by the police of suspected Boko Haram members in July 2009 and the unlawful killings of more than 130 people by the police and military while responding to the November 2008 sectarian clashes in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
