The National Human Rights Commission in Kano reported receiving 149 complaints of alleged human rights abuses in July.
The NHRC coordinator, Shehu Abdullahi, disclosed this on Thursday in Kano.
He said that 38 of the cases had been treated, while 111 are pending.
Mr Abdullahi said 105 cases bordered on children’s rights, women, and gender.
According to him, over 24 of these cases received during the period under review are on abandonment of family responsibility and domestic violence.
“The remaining 20 cases are on economic and cultural rights, labour and physical violence rights,’’ he said.
He explained that the commission also mediated on marital matters between couples.
Mr Abdullahi urged couples to be more patient with one another in order to manage their responsibilities effectively.
