We have what we want. A common interest has the latest from the capital of georgia. The authorities have banned street protests but not before hundreds of protesters marched to the parliament to try to voice their concerns about rising insecurity about attacks by police about an end to Police Brutality what weve seen over the past few days is that a government has given in to some of these demands by disbanding the police unit accused of these atrocities the special interests cord and replaced it just 2 days ago with another outfit called swat and protest to senate convenes that the government has them well they want an end to these they believe its just a change in the name but not in the believe that the atrocities was to continue and just what the government tried to assure them now would be taking a different dimension protesters want not only accountability from Security Services but they also want to count ability from the elected officials in the next coming days we probably will see more demanding action on several fronts some are even talking about high pay for members of parliament some are talking about ending insecurity thats been the major concern for nigerians over the past few years in this country as bandits but. Kidnappers and all these criminals run riot in various parts of nigeria. And sas began as a largely Online Movement that developed into a protests the latest wave of anger was sparked by a video showing a man being shot by sas officers the squad was set up in 1902 with the aim to fight Armed Robbery but its members have been increasingly accused of rights abuses are missing international documented at least 82 cases of torture extortion and rape by members of sars between january 2017 and may 2020 group says victims have been subjected to mock execution burning with cigarettes near a fixation using plastic bags and Sexual Violence the world internal security and police index rated nigerias Police Forces as the worst in the world in 2016. Ive. Joined our our guests in the nigerian capital. Of vienna jaw one of the activists for the hash tag and sas movement or be eligible lost her brother to Police Brutality into a 1012. 00 in edinburgh or any delhi a Research Fellow at the university of edinburgh a center for African Studies back in and there to nigeria researcher for Human Rights Watch war welcome to all of you. Or be able to do you trust the government what it says that it is going to or that it has indeed scrapped source no i dont think this is the flight or the feet time that the government is incest i said earlier this year last year not to see the base president himself man says and yet. It is do or do not trust the government is in their scripts thats our only trust them when the source of the shells or now wounds on our streets leave the streets as in economic terms then for now on is just talks and no actions i do not need the nights in whats in it this time is different in the sense that the momentum is building up against Police Brutality do you think that this is something that could be conducive to a dramatic change in nigeria yes do you think so i think come things seem different this time around because they are different who once we see. The youth of actually decided it is not going to wait any longer for rope Political Class to be. The source of their salvation theyve decided that they have to take it. Into their own hands basically if anyone thinks he can run for the top in nigeria and so receivers theres no Political Considerations he can each of the preacher so far and thats because the youth of today look at themselves through to me the process. An ear to i meant when i spoke to be on edge about whether she trusts the government she said no but i think when you talk to people the general sentiment is this does not seem to be a genuine reform because what is happening looks like were deploying Police Officers from sas into a new entity called swat do you see it the same way yes i mean people are asking for any form that goes beyond changing what needs to be out there on moving these officers around they want to see you know deep rooted changes that address major issues around corruption and accountability from not just size officer or 2 members of the Nigerian Police force all together so theyre calling for action in terms of the recruitment process how Police Officers are trained you know what sort of accountability mechanisms are be put in place within the police im an outside of the system that ensures that any member of the force that is being accused of wrongdoing its brought to book theyre looking for a system that allows transparency into funds that come in to fine Police Operations to really ensure that the Police Officers are well equipped with the sort of weapons and equipment that they need to be able to carry out their jobs so until people get a sense that these deep rooted changes will be made across or it is that its going to be very very difficult for your current cease to engender trust and ask support from citizens. You lost your brother to Police Brutality what do you think should be very top priority now do you want to start 1st with prosecuting those who committed atrocities or is it or is going to be compensation or the families or changing the horse Security Landscape in nigeria. You see all the can happen some time with tenuously because the persecution of killer cops in the wild at the same time can sit in families where lost their loved ones just as brutality and thats what reforming our security agencies and the engineer they cant see that the president long process it is a process that we can start already has that been the only way that people people like myself bubbles in the industry to stop with the protest is wrong is that seen actions for someone like me a lot of my blood and everything. To my lawyers to the idea of police since july this region at least 3 times the idea of police to look into this not uninvestigated and not in is come out and its not visitation being carried out nor think about it was when things like this are meant to mean that i cant trust them to do anything right and if that be the kids i do not think that any that well in the streets to well it went. And it was starts with accountability it was that with just him was that also what reforming this bill is of that and these going up was somewhat serious and its current and ensued as the best way to do any of the government is sending mixed messages we have seen. President hardy talking about the need to to to before the police force yet the army has sent a warning to the protesters to stay away from the streets how do you explain that i think. Speaking from both. Sides of the problem our government basically tells us what we trust all we need to know basically about a government. Perception of whats happening right now and and how the government sees all of this basically i think thats the reason why were likely to see the us leave the streets anytime soon because they can tell that the government paying them lip service when it says that once she heard who form of despair and sass i believe were going to tour the mentioned this isnt the 1st time. In recent years of governments spoken about wanting to reform or or disband to dissolve a sauced was always one. Of his country terminology to the they they did they they did you can show up one of our people come out and they see look things have to change and some people. Think im going to change anytime soon unless he could pressure on the government and and shutting the government basically into taking substantive measures for that to be true for change to come about basically in terms of the reformation actual reform issues of the Police Institution countrywide and yet here this is what is interesting about there have been many investigations in the past and probes into Police Brutality and the need to reform the police and theres been a what the general consensus in nigeria that the police force is perhaps the most corrupt institution in nigeria however its a no go zone whys that. I think weve really witnessed over ringback the last year. Deep seated. You know in action from the authorities theres been no political will to look into this institution that is one of the more important to ensure the safety and security of nigerians and peace across the country and weve seen that this unwillingness has led to you know more abuse is more prevalent corruption within the force and i has brought us to where we are today so its no longer an option for your parties to invade the need for these accountability however difficult the process might be there has to be that sticking to stop the process and really ensure at whatever level of the system these abuses ive been taking place or its been institutionalized that change starts really take place or be an issue audio among those who believe that its about time to change the lives of legislation itself because one of the biggest problems about the police force is the way the legislation has been established in the jurisdiction of the roles of the factions the functions of the different institutions operating the. Yeah you see a lot of the police are calling me on the. Not the whole idea of enforcing the law thats the problem. And again our police is highly militarized i do not see the reason why release of his those walking on the streets where there is no war does not because war is a spike in crime is Walking Around with a night 84 to 7 theres no need for this this is why did what about dream differently and again our police is rarely held accountable when you go to the commission of a police state cannot believe of his deeds to complain about Police Brutality or the button that they do he does it again one day jurisdiction you cant call to assess you they should go to the i. G. A. What are the i. G. He does it whats the problem what we complement the but means all this means that there is not ability if we do not legislature or we dont have nor that guiding the police that we cant hold them accountable for dudu notion which is totally changes we should reform our nose in. Some our legislature and change every law that is guiding the police to make sure that they become one accountable and we deplete the right of them our Police Officers do not even have regular drug checks or psychological when we do not have these kind of things for people who are supposed to beat out of our security so were not sitting the country having them all dis peoples because now do we put that be used against the masses genocide is it wouldnt that be even conditions are very bad the police are very but maybe conditions and that if they were to shoot reform maybe it would make them to a better approach to human to people to citizens of the society we destroy i really struggle to understand how this of ive. Amount of and are being paid with Living Conditions but that notwithstanding is not only. Is it for them to god that 11 people killing people humming them raping young girls at will and a lot thats beyond what at some time because the police can the people as opposed to the care of you or the hordes and there is no way to. Yes we need a riot ok and im not. In this what weve just heard from. Has been baffling many internationally this is one of the richest nations in the world its Police Forces and we sourced inadequately trained paving the way for the abuses of the corruption that has been pervasive for for decades how whether the police force usually comes under the umbrella of the minister of interior except for nigeria where force and the base of interior the Police Council and president himself and thats thats that could be the reason why its very corrupt and i think it will not come as a surprise of that please please a major major role in the corruption of the fatah for the police and i believe thats sort of the point out. Leading to as well in the sense that tom all of the some berkus hes been used to deprive the police of funding for the requisite funding they need in order to to live decent lives in order to have to have decent lives in order to perform their jobs optimally and serve because the police themselves have been dish human sized by the Political Class in nigeria over several generations victims often turn around and dehumanizing their fellow nigerians who just supposed to be protecting the sensually and its a cycle that just keeps repeating itself over and over again. And here to visit a window room for human rights organizations such as yours our local n. G. O. S to help fix things because as you know the police force comes under 2 major over oversight the one of the Police Council and the one of the Police Service commission which is mandated to exercise disciplinary control over abuses of the police is that possible can n. G. O. S step in in practice and change things on the ground. So i think one of. The proposals that your fight is have brought forward in this new efforts to ensure accountability and reform the system is really to bring our members of the public under the umbrella of you know the movement that is the im going or Civil Society groups who have really been involved before and even now trying to ensure and push lock these before and theyre doing this under the National HumanRights Commission and theyre really hoping to as i see it try new ways to ensure that there is accountability beyond that which to the system provides now while internal accountability is important then you can see that we. Need commissions i also think there is a deep seated need for external. In and that and the role in which society can play in making that happen really has to be has to be highlighted in has to be used to the best advantage and to an extent that were ensuring that theres trust from citizens and there is an see that comes not only out from from the government but also from what citizens can actually see. Of you as we cannot talk about Police Reform without talking about the i. G. P. Of the inspectors. General of the Police Someone the who is appointed by the Police Council with a nod from the president do you think that its about time to limit the term of the i. G. P. And also to hold him accountable for the abuses by the Police Officers yes we should certainly be able to do that in fact one of the that we are clamoring for is for the a. G. T. To resign this current a. G. T. Because only the under his command the police are consistently brutalized and the only did are human rights several it is under his command that the police are on the highest crimes in the sea. We dont was being a way to hold him accountable there was be a way to hold a g. P. Accountable if we hold him accountable it will teach or die i. G. P. Doubt but kamel a lesson to know that we do not tolerate this thing on a local munjal with other people. How respect have respect for the dignity of life. Evil Peaceful Protesters of be bussed year ago that being true are not always what our canons are used on all as did be doesnt break our phones why we are peaceful protests those with cardboard some paper were not doing anything wrong and this is an idea we decided he doesnt have any problems with peaceful protests yet he meant that months are going against him do you know that if you do the common or garden you know that point to all of them then you should eat ok another we should be dealing with everyone and if this is a measure that has been traumatized by wars and by military codes to the point where the the minute a joint as in the past were very skeptical of the police force and do you think the vast past of nigeria continues to haunt the country and this explains why Police Brutality and disrespect of human basic fundamentals still exist in a nation like nigeria absolutely i think it plays up a major major major role in. The many years for my generation spent on the on under me to basically traumatized gentile nation to include the police and soldiers when were still not learned how to. Properly function the way. Under our. Russell you object if you dont have to crimes basically until you have the police basically behaving the way the mood youre on and respect under military rule because we mustnt forget that during militaru no jews were not allowed to protest freely basically nigerians who have treated as if their lives did not match up and silver suv the clamor for the nigerian lies to muster up to the police force did not just begin yesterday its in this you know you dont go in for several decades not idea to from the Police Acting to 1004. 00 and you look at all that political legacy from obasanjo the way towards a lot of water yada dog goodluck jonathan. You get a sense that the police force itself has ended up becoming an over centralized institution when the federal system itself should be conducive to more decentralized for should this be the gate to reforming the police decentralizing the police for force i mean this is an argument that has come up in the country for namely its. Clavering and advocating for state and me making a point that there would be more accountability if states were allowed to control their own police force to fund their own police force and basically ensure that there is a level of Community Policing that allows people know all the offices in their areas are and out these are simulated in different states where the the the way they function but on the other hand there are arguments about how these east. But these commands in different states if they are left seem to the states themselves to organize and to sue to ensure that their functioning might become delicious for a new the state governments or a particular region and so this was really been a debate often even to move full i but i did end of the day i am where i ski for our citizens are asking for a system that best suits are a police force that allows us who are come to believe thank him shows that there is if he for citizens i really appreciate your for your contribution to the program fortunately we have to leave it there.
