The Council specifically resolved that State Governors and the FCT Minister should take charge of interface and contact with the protesters in their respective domains. At a meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, and attended by State Governors, the Judicial Panels which would be set up in all the States would include representatives of Youths, Students, Civil Society Organizations and would be chaired by a respected retired State High Court Judge. The Council also directed that State Governors should immediately establish a State-based Special Security and Human Rights Committee to be chaired by the Governors in their States, to supervise the newly formed police tactical units and all other security agencies located in the State. The idea of the Special Security and Human Rights Committee in all States of the Federation and the FCT is to ensure that police formations and other security agencies in the State consistently protect the Human Rights of citizens. Members of the Special Committee would also include Representatives of Youths, and Civil Society. The head of Police tactical units in each of the State would also be a member of the Committee. Regarding the Judicial Panel of Inquiry, each State Government is to set up the Panel, chaired by a retired High Court Judge, with other members selected by the State Governor as follows: *Two representatives of Civil Society groups *One Retired Police Officer of high repute *One Youth Representative *One Student Representative * One Representative of the State Attorney-General Ministry and a representative from the National Human Rights Commission. The terms of reference for the Judicial Panel is to - *receive and investigate complaints of Police brutality or related extra judicial killings; *evaluate evidence presented/other surrounding circumstances, and draw conclusions as to the validity of the complaints; and *recommend compensation and other remedial measures, where appropriate. The Panel’s assignment should be concluded within a maximum of six (6) months, unless it shows convincing reasons why the State Governor should allow an extension. There would also be Human Rights Public Complaints Team of between 2 to 3 persons to receive complaints on an ongoing basis. That team would be established by the Special Committee on Security and Human Rights. It was resolved that each State Government shall also set up such a Complaints Office to which members of the public can relate by telephone or social media channels. It shall be the duty of the officers of the Complaints Office to liaise with the leadership of security agencies, attempt resolution of complaints or otherwise guide the complainants. Also NEC directs all State Governors to immediately establish a Victims Fund to enable the payment of monetary compensation to deserving victims.

Federal government have come again o. Which one is fund for compensating victims of brutality? Nigerian leaders don't joke with anything money they will embezzle it. * The panel of inquiry on police brutality should only receive money after the conclusion of every case of brutality brought to them. * Any security agent found to have violated human rights should lose part of their wages to the victims. A careless policeman may end up using his salaries to settle compensation. That way, they will be serious. 4 Likes |

Will it make any positive difference? Our governors will hijack the system and use them to attack people who criticize them. Do you know you can locate and contact skilled artisans and other vendors around you in just one click? No sign up required. Visit link below |
