In response, some  United Kingdom parliamentarians have reported President Muhammadu Buhari to the Secretary-General of Commonwealth.

The British lawmakers wrote the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Patricia Scotland QC, over widespread violence in Nigeria.

Those that wrote include, Caroline Cox, David Alton, Jin Shannon and Helena Kennedy.

According to them, thousands of civilians in Nigeria have been killed and elements of the Nigerian Government may be complicit in the violence.

Others, who signed the letter, are Lord Williams, Lord Carey, Dr Christopher Cocksworth, Phillip Mounstephen, Lord Stoddart, Lord Anderson, Lord Cormack.

Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, Ayo Adedoin, Ewelina Ochab, Mervyn Thomas, Dr Khataza Gondwe, Nevile Kyrte-Smith, Dr John Eibiner and Ann Buwalda.

The lawyer sought intervention on the killings in Nigeria, highlighting the helplessness of the current Nigerian administration, and calling on the Commonwealth to intervene and find a lasting solution to the killings.
