NHRC: Security Agencies Killed 18 During Lockdown by stanech(op): 7:06am On Apr 16, 2020

The National Human Rights Commission has reported that law enforcement agents killed 18 persons while enforcing the lockdown ordered by the Federal Government to curb the spread of the COVID-19.

The NHRC disclosed this in a report on the first phase of the lockdown, from March 30 to April 13.

The commission said a total of 105 complaints bordering on rights violations were received from 24 states during the first phase of the lockdown.

The Executive Secretary of the NHRC, Tony Ojukwu, said the complaints came from the Federal Capital Territory, Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross Rivers and Ebonyi states.

Complaints were also received from Edo, Enugu, Ekiti, Delta Gombe, Imo, Kaduna, Katsina, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Osun, Plateau and Rivers states.

The complaints received and documented by the NHRC within the period include cases of extrajudicial killings, violation of right to freedom of movement, unlawful arrest and detention, and seizure/confiscation of properties.
There were also cases of sexual and gender based violence, discrimination, torture, inhumane and degrading treatment and extortion.

“Whereas COVID-19 has led to the death of about 11 patients to date (Wednesday), law enforcement agents have extrajudicially executed 18 persons to enforce the regulations.

“This speaks volumes of the protocols and rules of engagement for our law enforcement as well the efficiency level and capacity of law enforcement agents to deal with civil population,” Ojukwu added.

This means they are worse than covid-19. They have killed more Nigerians than the virus.
Seeing that this is a report for the first phase of the lockdown makes one to only imagine what the figure will stand at, at this third phase of this lockdown.
Satan incarnates in uniform, killing for no reason.

The 18 people should be added to the list of COVID-19 deaths.

The Nigeria security agency recruitment lost credibility and merit as far back 2006. What we have now is a gathering of square pegs in round holes.

I'm surprised that some people still believe that we have a government in this useless country.

Smh. It shows how dangerous our so called security men are. 18 people already killed within the first two weeks of lockdown, far higher than the Corona virus that called for the lockdown.

Everytime there's an issue that calls for the operation of our security men, they kill, abuse and steal from the citizens.

These guys are alwys taking advantage of situation to wreck havoc on the citizens of this country. Yhu see them sexually harassing our women.....

Funny enough, some of these happenings are not being reported.

Watch out for the name EMMANUEL MACRON

No matter how subtle they might try to hide him

Still he will be forced to take the centre stage

Just like Hitler, Macron is the Antichrist of our time and the second to the last one

Sad. Higher than Corona virus death. Why are we like this?

I am surprised the government is not even concerned about the extra judicial killing. Common, this is painful!

I thought the number is 20 now.

For their mind, CORONA can't beat them

Armed security personnel are trying to prevent people from killing themselves by killing them using guns. They have killed more than the corona virus.

Re: NHRC: Security Agencies Killed 18 During Lockdown by overseer1(m): 8:47am On Apr 16, 2020

That is the combined effects of BAD LEADERSHIP AND FOLLOWERSHIP. Our laws have no human face: harsh and excruciating. Our people find it difficult to obey simple law and order. So, the problem is composite and multifacet.

May God intervene sooner
