Senate directs committees on Police, Human Rights to probe cases of human rights violations, extrajudicial killings

Senate passes Finance Bill

Senators in session

The Senate has directed its committees on Police and Human Rights to investigate cases of human rights violations and extrajudicial killings by the police.
The Senate gave the directive on Wednesday during plenary in response to a motion by Senator Oluremi Tinubu on extrajudicial killings and human rights violations by SARS operatives.

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.

President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan however noted that banning the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) is not the solution to cases of extrajudicial killings by the Police unit.

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.
