Hello Fellow Compatriots,

I will appreciate to be enlightened as to why the Nigerian security outfits are not provided with body cameras or being mandated to always put on body cameras when carrying out operations. As evidences in court of law, I think there should always be a proof to every arrests made, every claimed assault on them(security outfits), and all. Just as it's obtained in the saner climes, the court would not just charge an accused person based on the fact that either the police, or any law enforcement agents brought the case. The court would want to see the footage of all that transpired, leading to the shooting, killing or arrest of any individual. In doing this, there would be more elements of transparency in any claims by the law enforcement agents. Citizens rights and those of the law enforcements agents would be adequately protected when there is a full footage of everything that transpired.
In this country, a lot of extra judicial killings had taken place, with the law enforcement agents claiming that the victims tried shooting them first and they(the police) for instance had to retaliate by shooting such victims. In some cases, guns would be implanted to implicate the victims. At times, such victim might be shot, with the police or DSS claiming that such victim was trying to resist arrest; lots of lies, just because the system does not make it mandatory for every law enforcement officers to provide a primary evidence in form of a moving picture.

I just feel that if this is made very mandatory in the scheme of things regarding arrest of suspects, killing of suspects, and charging of suspects to court, it would go a long way in making both the law enforcement agents, and the citizens behave themselves, and would also provide a fair and transparent trial.

Take for instance, the case of raiding of Sunday Igboho's house, in a saner clime, a footage of what transpired would be provided to provide a very transparent understanding of what really made the law enforcement agents vandalized his properties and killed two people in his house. The DSS claimed that they( Igboho guys) were shooting at them, while they(DSS) tried to gain entrance into his compound. Other reports had it that it wasn't exactly true. A footage would have simply provided the public an account of what actually transpired.

The truth is we are all victims of this system whether we are not directly involved(affected) or not. Today, we might not be affected; tomorrow we might be unlawfully arrested and get framed up for offences we never committed. The question still remains that why are the law enforcement agencies not using body cameras to cover their operations? Why are the courts not encouraging the usage of body cameras as a means to further deepen alleged criminal offences? Why? Remember, we are all victims, but we tend to appreciate( feel the heat) when it gets to our turn!

What will they use to charge it?

You want them to expose themselves as unprofessional licensed criminals, so you want them to put on cameras before trying to plant bullets or drugs in people's vehicles/luggage.

You want them to have cameras on when they are watched threatening to shoot people for refusing to bribe them or falsely arresting innocent people and taking them to the ATM in the middle of the night to rob them.

The problem is not giving them the cameras, they'll still pour sand into the lens or keep complaining about the batteries so that they will continue to commit crimes on the highway.

Nigeria has no law enforcement

A police force that can't fuel their vehicle or provide decent accommodation for their members.

A police force that officers have to buy their own uniform and boots, is the same force you are asking why ain't they using body camera?

Nigerian law enforcement agencies are merely hire assassins for politicians why would you give them camera to expose you.

They will sell it, law enforcement agents here are just too useless.

It is now compulsory for FRSC officials especially those in FCT.
