The National Human Rights Commission's (NHRC) panel's recent award of N147 million in compensation to 27 victims of police brutality is a positive step toward healing and achieving justice for the victims. Additionally, it will contribute to the reduction of police violence and impunity in Nigeria. The panel's ruling, which looked into human rights breaches committed by the former Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other police units, demonstrated that Nigerians would no longer accept cruel and humiliating treatment, notably extrajudicial executions, by security forces. Mr Anthony Ojukwu, the Commission's Executive Secretary, said clearly, "By paying victims, the NHRC seeks to alter the narrative of impunity." The commission is prepared to give redress for violations of Nigerians' rights. Wherever a breach occurs, a remedy must be instituted. The panel has embarked on a quest to restore human dignity." We concur with the allegation and praise the p

Kelecia Mayo, 22, is struggling for her life in Little Rock, Arkansas, after being seriously injured by a gunshot fired from the police chief's handgun. Police shot her just for being in the wrong location at the wrong time. Chief Keith Humphrey of the Little Rock Police Department was placed on administrative leave Saturday after cellphone footage showed the absolutely careless shooting. According to authorities, the chief was responding to an altercation between a man and a woman in a parking lot on New Year's Eve. During the altercation, Taz Hayes, 29, grabbed a revolver and started shooting wildly across the parking lot. Humphrey was patrolling as part of an "all hands on deck" strategy when he saw the mayhem unfold. "On New Year's Eve, Little Rock Police Chief Keith Humphrey, like he has done in the past, used an all-hands-on-deck strategy to patrol and ordered command personnel to patrol the city," Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. tweeted Saturday

CSP Marcus Ogundola, head of the Ekiti State Police Command's Rapid Response Squad (RRS) unit, and unit operators have been charged with illegal executions, arrests, conversion of suspects' property to personal use, and demand of "outrageous bond amounts in return for people's release." According to SaharaReporters, Ogundola was the leader of the infamous Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force until it was abolished last year after the #EndSARS demonstrations. SARS was infamous for its violence, extrajudicial executions, and violations of human rights. On October 11, 2020, Mohammed Adamu, the former Inspector General of Police, announced the disbandment of the police unit in response to widespread outrage against the police unit's crimes. According to people interviewed by SaharaReporters, the present RRS team is comprised up of former SARS agents. "They are making a killing in police uniforms by extorting Ekiti State youths in the

A recently married man claims that certain police officers wearing the branded uniforms of the infamous Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), which was abolished last year after #EndSARS demonstrations, extorted him and his trainee. According to him, this might suggest that SARS has been resurrected in Akwa Ibom State. SARS was infamous for its violence, extrajudicial executions, and violations of human rights. Mohammed Adamu, the former Inspector General of Police, announced the disbandment of the police squad on October 11, 2020, after a countrywide outcry against its violence. The guy bemoaned to SaharaReporters that he and his apprentice were allegedly extorted of N25,000 by operatives dressed in SARS uniforms at the Area Command in Ikot Ekpene. He said that he was handcuffed by police officers in the manner of a criminal while his home was searched. Bassey Nyong was recognised as the head of the squad that abused and extorted him by the service engineer. "That day was a Monday,

Olayinka, a social media influencer, told how police officers assigned to the Ilasan Police Station in Lekki, Lagos, arrested and extorted him of N20,000. On Friday, about 11:45 p.m., Olayinka was on his way home when a white shuttle, also known as korope, came to a halt near him and police officers alighted from the vehicle urged him to jump in. "I refrained from arguing with them since they were armed. Two other danfo buses were parked behind the shuttle, both of which belonged to police personnel. They searched me and discovered nothing incriminating, yet they refused to release me," Olayinka told FIJ. "Police officers drove to Chevyview estate and started arbitrarily arresting individuals. Numerous individuals were detained, including those standing in front of their homes. They arrived at Chevyview about 12 a.m., and their two danfo buses were packed with residents." The police officers did not inform Olayinka or the other individuals detained of their wrongdoi

Antonio Rodriguez, a Miami-Dade police officer, was removed from duty in July 2020 after he was captured on body camera video waylaying a tiny lady in the face. What was the woman's crime? "You behaving like you're white," he taunted the cop. Rodriguez has been paid back pay and acquitted of all accusations more than a year after going viral and losing his job, and the department has justified the strike as a "distraction." According to the Miami Herald, the decision not to charge Rodriguez was made in a final letter issued Tuesday by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office. The event occurred in June 2020 at Miami International Airport. The two were having a conversation when the lady became enraged and began insulting him. "You're portraying yourself as white when you're really black... What are your intentions?" the lady inquires. Paris Anderson, who is not wearing a mask, then jumps in the officer's face just as he is about to ad

In every state, filming police officers is perfectly lawful. However, police officers often overstep their power and arrest, abuse, and assault innocent persons for the constitutionally permitted act of photographing their actions in public. As the following New Orleans case demonstrates, police officers would go to tremendous and often violent measures to avoid being videotaped, even assaulting and fraudulently detaining an innocent man. Jacobi Cage had done nothing wrong, committed no crime, and was only photographing police officers who had just broken up a brawl during a parade on the night he was detained and assaulted by police. Innocence, on the other hand, did not constitute a defence. Cage was recording when he was instructed to move aside by an unnamed officer. Cage listened to the deputy and took a few steps back, but this was evidently insufficient for Det. Nicholas Broussard, who was so incensed by Cage's First Amendment privilege that he knocked the phone out of Cage&

Four police officers in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have been arrested on the instructions of Babaji Sunday, the FCT's Commissioner of Police (CP), for suspected extortion. ASP Josephine Adeh, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said in an Abuja statement on Wednesday that the order followed a viral extortion video circulating on social media in which officers on traffic duty along with Area 11, Abuja intercepted and extorted money from an unidentified man. Adeh said that the cops had been brought into custody for questioning in order to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident. "The Police would like to invite anybody who knows how to contact the young guy in the video to provide the Command with his contact information or to transmit an invitation to the Command's Public Relations Office. "The CP expressed profound surprise at the news and termed the officers' behaviour as discreditable,

Police officers have the authority and will detain and extort you in the land of the free for poor bicycle illumination. If you attempt to flee this extortion, you risk being run over by a police car, attacked by a police K9, or, as shown by the following event, hospitalised with a fractured leg. Derrick Roundtree had done no wrong, committed no crime, and was only riding his bicycle home from a neighbouring convenience shop on the night he was assaulted by police and hospitalised. Roundtree proceeded to his friend's residence in the Tidewater Gardens public housing development after leaving the business. Roundtree rode his bicycle home on Christmas Eve 2018, passing a Norfolk police officer in the route. As Roundtree rode past, that cop, Aaron Christie, quickly flashed his lights and yelled something inaudible over the loudspeaker. Roundtree, riding his bicycle, was convinced that the cop was pursuing someone else, and so he kept riding slowly back to his friend's home. Christ

Javier Ambler, a 40-year-old postal worker, was reportedly driving home after a friendly poker game when he failed to lower his headlights as he passed another car. This is certainly something that everyone reading this post has done at some time in their lives. However, Ambler would be dead an hour later as a result of driving past a Williamson County sheriff's officer. Now, some three years after his death, Williamson County taxpayers have been informed that they will be paying $5 million to Ambler's family in a wrongful death case. "While the Ambler family is devastated by the loss of their son and loving father, they are proud that they fought for him and hope that this settlement and the changes made at Williamson County as a result of this case send a strong message to law enforcement that ignoring a person's pleas for help will no longer be tolerated," Jeff Edwards, the family's attorney, said Tuesday. The Austin American-Statesmen reports that the sett
