  "summary": "Amnesty International Nigeria has called for an investigation into alleged threats of political violence made by the Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Jarret Tenebe. According to the rights organisation, Tenebe threatened to use an \"AK-47\" against those working to frustrate the APC's plan to secure votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections. Amnesty International expressed concern over the lack of response from Nigeria's security agencies, particularly the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services, to these public threats. The organisation urged authorities to ensure accountability for politicians and leaders who incite, threaten, or promote violence motivated by politics, religion, or ethnicity.",
