Security Agencies Kill 18 Nigerians During Lockdown, More Than COVID-19 - NHRC by Tflesk: 3:17pm On Apr 15, 2020
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) says Nigeria’s security agencies have killed 18 citizens since the lockdown regulations on the COVID-19 pandemic were enforced — more than the disease itself.

Tony Ojukwu, NHRC executive secretary, said majority of the victims were killed during attempts to enforce the coronavirus lockdown and similar regulations.

The federal and state governments had locked down various parts of the country to curb the spread of COVID-19 which has so far killed 11 persons in Nigeria.

But the lockdown has come with various human rights abuses mostly by policemen, the NHRC said in its report shared with TheCable on Wednesday.

The commission said in addition to the reported extrajudicial killings, the security agencies have allegedly carried out 33 incidents of torture, 27 incidents of violation of right to freedom of movement, and unlawful arrests, 19 incidents of seizure of properties and 13 incidents of extortion.

“There were 8 documented incidents of extra-judicial killing leading to 18 deaths,” the report read.

“Out of this number, 12 deaths were recorded in Kaduna State. Abia State also recorded 2 deaths arising from 2 incidents; while Delta, Niger, Ebonyi and Katsina States recorded 1 death each.

“The report further shows that out of the 18 deaths, the Nigeria Correctional Service was responsible for 8 deaths while the Nigeria Police Force was responsible for 7 deaths.

“The Nigeria Army on the other hand was responsible for 2 deaths while the Ebonyi State Task Force on Covid-19, Afikpo South LGA was responsible for 1 death.”

Ojukwu said the fatalities speak volumes of the protocol and rules of engagement for Nigeria’s law enforcement agencies and their efficiency level to deal with citizens.

“It’s a sheer display of impunity and reckless disregard for human life in law enforcement by security personnel,” he added.

He also said while the NHRC will ensure justice for victims of human rights abuse, it has developed a mobile application to monitor and document such violations.

Nonsense. This doesn't make sense at all.

Any right thinking person should be plotting his exit strategy now so you leave the country after the lockdown. God help Nigeria

The worse part is that these killers won't be held accountable.

They would have killed more if not for the lockdown.

Our security agencies lacks training on civil relations.

I just don't understand them.

No difference between them and a random person with riffle.

I don't know how true this is.

But come to think of it. Many Nigerians have died from herdsmen but buhari has done nothing about it.

I think we should name something Herdsmen-19 and compare with Covid-19

Hersdmen-19 means how many people have died in the hands of herdsmen since 2015 when Buhari took power.
