  "summary": "Amnesty International Nigeria has called for the reinstatement of a child rape case involving a four-year-old girl in Plateau State, describing its discontinuation as a miscarriage of justice. Country Director Isa Sanusi criticized the decision of the Plateau State Attorney-General’s office to withdraw the case, warning that abandoning such a case could undermine public confidence in the justice system and embolden perpetrators of sexual violence. The organization urged the state government to reverse the withdrawal, reinstate the charges, and ensure the police execute the court’s arrest warrant so that the trial can continue.",
