The gruesome murder of African-American, George Floyd, in the hands of former Police Officer, Derek Chauvin, by means of a chokehold, while his colleagues looked on and did nothing to save him, threw the entire world into unprecedented outrage in May 2020. It was one death too many for African-Americans, in the hands of racist white Police Officers, and the attendant spontaneous rage saw the people of Minneapolis, USA go on a rampage, resulting in the global hash tags, #icantbreathe and #blacklivesmatter, to press home the consciousness. Last week, a 15-member jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of all charges of murder and manslaughter. Sentencing was adjourned for eight weeks, the convict facing imprisonment of up to 40 years. Jefferson Uwoghiren and Dr Kede Aihie dissect the issues in the landmark judgement, drawing a parallel with Nigeria, with emphasis on what lessons there could be for the Nigerian justice delivery system, while Epa Ogie Eboigbe examines the courageous role the teenage African-American young lady, Darnella Frazier, played in the whole saga and the ensuing trial, as a result of her capturing George Floydâs murder on her phone-camera. If there is one thing this unfortunate incident has done, it has brought American policing into global focus, especially with regard to Police brutality against African-Americans. Will it be the catalyst for a change for the better, going forward?
