If you recall the contents of my publication yesterday, “Why Do Nigerians suffer in Midst of Plenty Nature Gifts” you will acknowledge the level of suffering these fellow Nigerians are going through in the IDP Camps. Not to talk of adding sexual assaults to it by security personnel who are supposed to be protecting these persons.

This came to the seen as result of investigation that was said to carry out and released by Human Rights Watch (HRW). The report which alleges sexual abuse and exploitation of woman and girls in Camps for those displaced persons by the HB insurgency.
Why these officers of the law are taking laws into their hands? Why are they inhuman to fellow being, people whom they are supposed to be securing? What a moral decadence!

Though the presidency is said to be worried about this report anyway; they said the welfare of this most vulnerable Nigerian citizens has been a priority of his government. According to the president “I have instructed the Inspector General of Police and the state governors of the affected states to immediately commence investigations into the issue. Their findings will determine the next course of action of his government and define an appropriate action”.

Does this mean we should always wait for an action as ugly as this to take place before we think of a measurement to it? Don’t we think most of these kinds are actually preventable? What can a person do when the head is off the shoulder? Can CCTV cameras be put strategically in these camps? How many behavioural modifier personnel do we have in these camps? Do we have to wait until external bodies like HRW to help check the inactions and reactions of the campers?

How often do we evaluate our security officers? Do we even have agency that evaluate and treat our security officers of their post psychological trauma? No wonder we see some of them misbehaving on streets. Most of them don’t even know the ethics of their profession.
We Nigerians are waiting for the outcome of the investigation and the disciplinary action that will be taken by the government. We hope this won’t be swept under the carpet like every other sensitive issues of this nature. We want justice to take it fullness.

Do you think there are other means to have prevented this or there are other ways to prevent future occurrence of sexual abuse? Are these officers taken undue advantages of these women and girls due to hunger and suffering? These and many more are the matters arising.
