A Human Rights group known as Justice Without Fee Advocacy (JUWIFA) has offered to assist all known victims of human rights abuses throughout the thirty-six states of the Federation inclusive of the F.C.T. Its areas of free legal interventions include;
Rape
Police brutality
Unlawful Arrests/detention
Unfair labour practices
Violence against women
Domestic violence
Inhuman and discriminatory traditional practices against widows and women generally
Child abuse/labour and the likes.
Any victim of any of the above mentioned varieties of human rights abuses could reach the NGO on infojuwifo@gmail.com for absolutely FREE legal interventions.

Explaining the rational behind this humanitarian project, the Founder, Barr. Johnmary Chukwukasi Jideobi explained thus;
" Our prime drive is basically the recognition that rule of law is of little or no use if there is no access to justice. The right to fair trial embedded in section 36(1) of our amended 1999 Constitution will remain in the realms of sheer rhetorics if a citizen cannot enjoy the benefit of legal representation in the law court owing to his social and economic situation in life."

As you are aware, there is pervasive hunger in the land making the accessing of legal services a costly luxury or at best a utopian dream if not a lame ambition. In this atmosphere of financial draught, the high and mighty will take advantage of the unfortunate situation to be riding roughshod on even constitutionally entrenched rights of the poor. This causes impunity to flourish. Hunger has remained a handy instrument in the hands of the rich against the poor.

Our mandateis therefore clear cut. It is to mobilise lawyers who recognise that they owe a duty to their society by putting their legal services at the disposal of the less privileged in our society because, as was rightly observed by Justice Ruth Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court rightly observed, "There can be no equal justice where the kind if trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has."

We have to finally bear in mind the immortal warning of Frederick Douglas in April, 1886 when he warned that "Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe"

Nigerians are therefore encouraged to approach us using our email so that a more egalitarian society could be built for the benefit of the whole system.

What have been waiting for

This is Nice and commendable. The Judiciary still remains the last hope of the common man.
