• The Intersociety through its Democracy and Good Governance Program since 2008 has promoted credible election and electoral process in Nigeria or any part thereof particularly in Anambra and South-East Nigeria where it is headquartered. In Anambra State, the Intersociety played a major role in ending long years of election rigging and related manipulations particularly between 2006 and 2014. The popular judicial return of the electoral mandate of former duly elected Governor Peter Obi is a clear case in point. The history of governance turning point in the State during his popular tenure cannot be complete without the inclusion of the impeccable role played by the Intersociety and other credible Rights and Democracy CSOs.
• Generally, across Nigeria, the Intersociety has played a leading role and become a leading voice and an irresistible force in the promotion and advancement of credible electoral process and rule of law. We have not only fought severally to ensure citizens’ inclusion in the democratic process but also consistently led the advocacy way in the Continuous Voters’ Registration, Revalidation, and Issuance of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs). We had gone to the High Court of Justice in Nigeria twice (2009 and 2023) against Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to compel it to provide a level playing ground for registered members of the voting population particularly as it concerns the issuance of PVCs without discrimination as to their ethnicity and religion as well as ensuring security and safety of the voting population, voting arena, ballot boxes and voting results. The Intersociety also released on Dec 25, 2022 a 27-Page Report on INEC’s 50 rigging plots ahead of the Nigeria’s 2023 General Elections and raised several letters of concern to leading international Democracies and Democratic Institutions.
• As a leading advocacy Organization promoting and advancing Rule of Law and periodic electoral and judicial process reforms, the Intersociety through the ‘Rule of Law and Fundamental Human Rights (civil liberties) Program’ of the Organization had severally voiced out concerns, carried out several investigations and issued reports and publications aimed at institutionalizing and advancing rule of law in Nigeria or any part thereof. We have vigorously campaigned and raised voices against official corruption and abuse of power in Nigeria including the need to give 70% attention to institutional reforms and 30% to coercive approaches as genuine and appropriate anti corruption measures in Nigeria or any part thereof. In Anambra State and Nigeria, we have issued several reports on Government-level “squander-mania” including wastages and siphoning of public funds, illicit borrowings, and serial indebtedness and generated acute underdevelopment, mass poverty, crimes, and social vices.
• We have since 2009 consistently monitored the rabid corruption in the Nigerian Security Forces (NSFs) particularly the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Army. Exposed as a major ‘corruption enabler’ is an intrenched criminal activity called “Return Culture”. We have carried out several national and regional roadway surveys to highlight and showcase social scientific data of the national and regional security outfit roadway corruption and their proceeds, perpetrators, and rogue beneficiaries. In August 2010, the Intersociety joined Access to Justice and another to participate in the international media conference organized in Lagos by the respected United States-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) during the release of its Report: “Everyone is in the Game: Corruption in the Nigeria Police Force”. The Report not only exposed an entrenched “Nigeria Police Roadblock Extortion Racketeering” but also highlighted its patterns and trends. The Intersociety provided raw facts that made the Report unique and has since then compiled and issued at least ten additional reports highlighting and exposing the entrenched criminal practice which has since extended and shaken the foundations of the Nigerian Armed Forces and the Paramilitaries. The Intersociety reports on public security operators’ roadway corruption and extrajudicial violent conducts in Nigeria or any part thereof were issued in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. These reports are available on our website’s archives.
• Since 2008, we have risen in strong defense of tens of thousands of citizens arrested and detained under false accusations, criminal labeling, ethnic profiling or mass criminalization by various police divisions and military formations during which the release of thousands of them was directly or indirectly secured. The list included victim-citizens released from Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra, Delta and Rivers States Police and Military formations and their zonal offices as well as other Army, Police and DSS dungeons located in Abuja, Keffi, Niger, Kaduna, etc. A clear case in point was the release in batches of the over 418 Army-abducted Obigbo residential men and women between Dec 2020 and August 2021 and dozens of defenseless and falsely labeled victims of Police, Military and DSS (Spy Police) crackdowns in Imo State in 2021. Visit our website archives for full reports including: The “Inside Nyesom Wike’s Bloody Era In (Obigbo) Rivers State And Unspeakable Account Of The Nigerian Army War-Grade Invasion, Crackdown, Abductions, Disappearances And Deadly Use Of Force” (Nov 17, 2023).
• In Oct 2009, we secured the released of over 30 unlawfully arrested Iyiowa-Odekpe residents in Ogbaru, Anambra State and had huge sums of money extorted from them refunded by the Okpoko (Ogbaru) Police SARS Unit. In May 2024, we petitioned and compelled the Anambra State Police Command to refund N300,000 to eight students of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu University, Igbariam Campus who were unlawfully arrested in the hours of the blue law (3.am in the morning) and later extorted by the Anti Cult Division (SPACS) of the State Criminal Investigations’ Department (SCID). The eight victim-students who were refunded, were unlawfully arrested alongside 22 others in their AGMAC Mixed Hostel at about 3.am in the morning of March 11, 2024 during which over N1.2m was violently and unlawfully collected and pocketed by the criminal SPACS police personnel.
• We have since 2008 documented series of unlawful killings including extra-judicial and extralegal killings, summary executions, abductions and enforced disappearances; torture and other inhuman and degrading treatments or punishments and other internationally prohibited acts; perpetrated in Nigeria or any part thereof by various police crack squads including police anti-terror, anti-kidnapping, anti-cult, anti-robbery and police intelligence response and tactical squads manned by FCID and FIB; As well as killer personnel of the Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force and the Spy Police. In August 2019, we appeared before the then UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Killings and Summary Executions, etc., Dr Mrs. Agnes Callamard (now Sec Gen of Amnesty International) during which we presented documented reports of extrajudicial and other unlawful killings in Igbo Land part of the Old Eastern Nigeria by the deployed Nigerian Security Forces (SCFs). Investigated and documented, too, across Nigeria and Old Eastern Region were several high-profile unlawful killings and enforced disappearances, torture and other inhuman and degrading treatments or punishments. All of the above were in addition to widespread citizens’ house and other property burnings and destructions (“domicide”) by both state actors and non-state actors.   
• The Intersociety has since 2018 become Nigeria’s leading advocacy voice in the promotion and advancement of the ‘International Freedom of Religion or Belief’. Apart from being admitted as a member of the International Alliance against Genocide in the United States since 2020, we have granted international interviews to several leading foreign news outlets including Fox News, Aljazeera (End SARS Documentary), Voice of America, Newsweek, Christian Post, Vatican Radio, and dozens of others. In Nigeria, our anti ethnoreligious advocacy works have been published or featured by more than Two Hundred (200) local news outlets including publicly and privately-owned print, visual, audio-visual and web media.  Our Reports on Insecurity and Killing of Christians in Nigeria have since 2018 been featured in more than Fifty (50) leading foreign news reports.  Specifically, our reports on the persecution of Christians and Minority Muslims (i.e. Islamic Shiites Movement) have consistently made international headlines and become major reference points used or cited by leading international Governments, Inter-Governmental Institutions, Multinational Institutions, Social Enterprises (i.e. religious bodies), Nongovernmental Organizations, Foundations and Research Institutions; and have specifically been cited in the UK Parliament, the United States International Commission on Freedom of Religion or Belief, the United States Government (i.e. during Donald Trump Administration), EU Catholic Bishops and some EU Parliamentarians, etc.
• We have carried out several investigations and documented thousands of senseless killings, abductions, disappearances, torture, sexual violence, forceful conversions, property burnings including wanton burning down or destruction of sacred places of worship or learning and their symbols; displacements, forced migrations and depopulations; jointly and separately perpetrated unchecked, untracked and unstopped by Islamic-inspired Nigerian Security Forces (SCFs) and Government-protected Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen and Jihadist Fulani Bandits; and others like Boko Haram, Ansaru, ISWAP, etc., which have been on rampage committing genocide, infanticide, ‘domicide’ (widespread burning down and destruction of churches and civilian Christian dwelling houses and other properties) and carnages in the Old Middle-Belt (Benue, Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Kogi, Nasarawa) and Christian-held parts of Borno, Kebbi, Niger, Taraba, Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe and Yobe States as well as the Christian-dominant States of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Cross River, Rivers and Akwa Ibom. In an international book (NOMAD TERROR) unveiled in the United States on 27^th June 2021, written by Dr Jaycee Johnson (Jacinta Aniagolu-Johnson), our founder and leader, Emeka Umeagbalasi; a Criminologist, Graduate of Security Studies and Post Graduate Expert in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution co-wrote the Book’s Forwards with Dr. Jose Luis Bazan, PhD, an Int’l Human Rights Law Expert from Brussels, Belgium. In the facts-laden Book, our reports on massacre of Christians across Nigeria were prominently highlighted.
• As an ‘expert-organization’ with a team of experts in law, criminology, security and peace and conflict resolution studies, we have consistently monitored the patterns and trends of security and safety administration in Nigeria or any part thereof and found same to be wobbled, crude, and sickening. Globally and continentally, the Nigerian Security Forces (NSFs) comprising police, army, navy, air force, spy police, paramilitaries and sub-national government militias are one of the crudest in Africa and the world. The NSFs are so crude, religiously, and ethnically radicalized or inspired and have earned notoriety in sectionalism, partisanship, and selectiveness. The NSFs have incurably refused digitalization and adopted jungle justice modes including false labeling, ethnic profiling, and mass criminalization; resulting in widespread killing, torturing, abducting, and disappearing unarmed citizens in their tens of thousands over the years and attacking their dwelling houses and other properties by having them wantonly burned down or destroyed. As a result of all the above, the Intersociety has steadily monitored and policed the operational activities of the named Security Forces and put them on their toes with periodic graphic reports cataloguing their conduct-atrocities particularly in Igbo part of the Old Eastern Nigeria. The above is to the extent that enough documented pieces of evidence abound exposing indiscriminate unlawful killings, burnings, abductions, and disappearances by the deployed security forces and their commanders in Old Eastern Region of Nigeria.
• We have organized several media conferences and awareness campaigns geared towards raising human rights and democracy awareness and consciousness among the citizenry including members of the defenseless and vulnerable population. Between December 2022 and May 2024, more than six press conferences were held by the Intersociety in Enugu, the Capital City of Old Eastern Nigeria during which several reports bordering on INEC’s plots to muzzle citizens’ electoral participation, killings and burnings in Imo State and general state of insecurity and other unsafe conditions; brutal rigging of the Imo Governorship and the Nigeria’s Presidential Elections of 2023 and other human rights, democracy, rule of law and citizens’ security and safety-related troubling issues were highlighted and exposed. In all, we have spoken out against several unaddressed injustices and government conduct-atrocities; found to be an anathema to democracy, rule of law, human rights and citizens’ security and safety-ruled society.
• Our impactful human rights and democracy works have, over the years, been celebrated in different clusters within and outside Nigeria particularly among the classes of the lettered, the religious and the businesspeople including Congregations of Catholic, Anglican and Pentecostal Priests and Pastors and Institutions of Higher Learning. Our works have also produced thousands of professors, doctorate and masters’ degree holders and aided tens of thousands of undergraduates in their lecture quizzes and final year projects. We have openly been confronted and thanked by several doctorate and masters’ degree holders for “making them PhDs and Masters of Science or Arts”. The above has severally been the case with some doctorate degree holders teaching at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anambra State. We have played host to “international professorial and doctoral visits” and severally hosted members of the international diplomatic corps from UK, USA, Canada, Portugal, France, and EU missions in Nigeria, etc. We also belong to several international coalitions including Alliance against Genocide and the International Criminal Court Support Groups, etc.; and have received several “thank you Intersociety” calls from thousands of citizens across the country including members of the persecuted Christian and Muslim (Shiites) populations, political and security actors including the marginalized in the Nigeria Police Force (. i.e. members of the Nigeria Police Force’s Traffic Warden and some senior police officers with long years of stagnated or delayed promotions and postings on the grounds of their ethnicity and religion).

One of our greatest achievements since 2008 is ability to sustain a litany of our human rights, rule of law, democracy and citizens’ security and safety advocacy works without solely relying on “external grants” from international funding or grant institutions. It is on record that the Intersociety has not received a dime including a USD or BPS or EU’s Euro from any of international grant institutions since formation; yet our advocacy works have remained unshaken and specifically and generally impactful. It must be remembered here that the Intersociety is governed by an assemblage of powerful and mutually bonded group of experts drawn from key university disciplines including law, criminology, security studies, peace studies and conflict resolution as well as mass communications, etc., who freely, pricelessly, and willingly put together their respective expertise (“donated in-kind resources”) for purpose of ensuring democracy, rule of law, human rights and citizens’ security and safety-ruled society. We are also ‘multiple merit awards’ winners and recipients of several local and international ‘Human Rights and Democracy Education Certificates’
