NGOs Call For Security Sector Reforms
Non governmental organisations, Civil Society Legislature Advocacy Centre and Transparency International, have called for a reform of the country’s security sector. The Executive Director,(CISLAC), Mr Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, said there was the need to give the necessary support for the country’s security agencies to find those causing unrest in the country. Meanwhile, four members of the pan Arewa sociopolitical organisation under the Coalition of Northern Groups were arrested in Kano on Friday by operatives of the Department of State Services,(DSS) during an #EndInsecurityNow protest against insecurity and bad governance.
Also a non governmental organisation, Avocats Sans Frontieres France, known as Lawyers Without Borders France, has charged the Federal Government to bring killer police officers, especially members of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, to justice for human rights violations committed against Nigerians. The Head of ASF-France in Nigeria, Angela Uwandu, who spoke on Saturday said what was required to address the human rights violations by the police was a total overhaul of the Nigeria Police to promote accountability.
