No fewer than 14,000 policemen and 200 civilians
participated in the Human Rights awareness
training organized by the Crime Victims Foundation
in collaboration with the Human Rights Education
Awareness Centre (HUREC) in Lagos yesterday.
Speaking at the event, Mrs. Gloria Ebuji, the
Executive Director of Crime Victims Foundation said
that understanding of human rights between the
police and civilians will provide mutual benefit in
quality service in the areas of service delivery,
safety and justice. She said that their NGO in collaboration with the
Nigeria Police Force have trained more than 14,000
police officers in Human Rights from the rank of
Chief Superintendent of Police to Constables. She said: “We have also trained 200 civilians mostly
traders in Lagos. We are targeting the 36 states of
the country and very soon, human rights education
and awareness will be everywhere,” she said. Barrister Sarah Ene Unobe, the Executive Director of
HUREC while commenting on civilian training stated
that a democratic society is judged internationally
by upholding human Rights tenets, thereby urging
Nigerians to enroll in human rights training.
