The Report looks at an Amnesty International report revealing the use of torture by Nigerian government forces. Over the last year in Nigeria the fighter group Boko Haram has hit the headlines after being involved in the kidnappings of more than 200 schoolgirls and attacks on various towns in the country's north-eastern region. However, what has been largely unreported are the crimes committed by the Nigerian government of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Joining John Rees to discuss are Makmid Kamara, West Africa Researcher at Amnesty International; and Ayo Johnson, a freelance journalist specialising in Africa.
