Senate directs committees on Police, Human Rights to probe cases of human rights violations, extrajudicial killings
This is coming as the Federal lawmakers debated the motion on the abuse and human rights violations by the police, particularly, SARS which they say has reached alarming levels.
The lawmakers are also asking the police to set up hotlines for Nigerians to report abuses and human rights violations by its officials.
The upper chamber is further asking the police to set up a monitoring unit to look into the operations of its men.
His statement comes after the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, last week, banned F-SARS personnel and other Tactical Squads of the Force from embarking on routine patrols.
According to the Senate President, one of the solutions is to arrest and prosecute police officers who have engaged in extrajudicial killings.
