A human rights lawyer and activist, Prof. Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, has alleged that the Nigerian Police Force, NPF, now commercialize their services.

In a post via her social media handle on Monday, October 21, Ezeilo disclosed that the Police charge fixed amounts as high as N300,000.

Ezeilo further accused the Police of failing to respond adequately to crime victims in need of their assistance.

“These days, the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has started commercializing their services, charging fixed amounts as high as 300k (in Enugu, for example), and hardly responds to
poor crime victims requiring their intervention,” the post read.

She said victims of Police brutality have not gotten justice, adding that recommendations made by various Panels of Inquiry across the country have not been implemented.

“I was a part of the #ENDSARS Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality.

“It’s disheartening that justice has not been served, and the decisions from the various Panels of Inquiry nationwide have yet to be implemented,” she wrote.
