CITIZENS’ RIGHT AND POLICE INJUSTICE IN NIGERIA

By: Ebo Emmanuel Police Injustice mostly used to refer to various human rights violations by police which might include beatings, racial abuse, unlawful killings, torture, or indiscriminate use of riot control agents at protests. At its worst, unlawful use of force by police can result in people being deprived of their right to life. If police force is unnecessary or excessive, it may also amount to torture or other ill-treatment. Unlawful force by police can also violate the right to be free from discrimination, the right to liberty and security, and the right to equal protection under the law. In countries with high rates of killings by police, there is often a combination of factors including inadequate laws, racial or other forms of discrimination, insecurity or conflict, and entrenched impunity. Governments who routinely trample on other human rights like freedom of expression and peaceful assembly often a...

Individual Greed Responsible for Ekiti Current Sordid Realities - Oni

Engnr Segun Oni By: Williams Esan A former Governor of Ekiti State, Engnr. Segun Oni, has attributed the current sordid realities in the state to individual greed, incompetence, insensitivity and political dictatorship. The Elder Statesman made the disclosure while hosting the peoples' democratic party, PDP leaders across the state, at his residence in Ifaki-Ekiti. Engnr. Oni, who is also one of the Governorship aspirants under the umbrella of the PDP in the state's 2022 governorship poll, charged the good people of Ekiti state to rise up to their responsibilities by speaking up, in order to put an end to the current narrative in the state. The former Governor also urged the people of the state to strongly kick against imposition of candidates, adding that incompetent individuals should not be allowed to pilot the affairs of the state no matter what. "It's high time Ekiti people embraced good governance and stop chasing shadows. "No government operates from the ...

The FUOYESU stakeholders meeting, held today, ended in abrupt chaos as a result of issues relating to the student Union caretaker committee delegation. Comrade Awe, a member of the SRC, representing the department of demography and social statistics starred up the argument, which hit the wrong cord in the acclaimed faculty Presidents, who also happens to be members of the SUG caretaker committee. He laid claim that a larger number of the current SUG caretaker committee members are Presidents of various faculties in the school, hence, becoming unconstitutional for them to hold two different executive portfolios at the same time, or better still, resign from the former post and handover immediately to their vice Presidents, if they should continue with the current appointment. The faculty Presidents therefore discredited the claim, owing to the fact that their current appointment was through delegation, and not through electoral activities. They also said that none of them begge...
