special interests corn and replaced it just 2 days ago with another outfit called swine. and protest to senate convenes that the government has heard them while they want and to these they believe is just a change in the name but not in order to achieve the believe of course of treatment to continue and guess what the government tried to assure them and now the protests are taking a different dimension protesters want not only accountability from security services but they also want to count ability from the elected officials in the next coming days we probably will see more harsh tags demanding action on several fronts some are even talking about high pay for members of parliament some are talking about ending in security that's been the major concern for nigerians over the past few years in this country as banded book. kidnappers and all these criminals run riot in various parts of nigeria and solace began as

us are our guests in the nigerian capital of piano jaw one of the activists for the hash tag and sass movement or pianist who lost her brother to police brutality into 1012 in edinburgh or any delhi research fellow at the university of edinburgh a center for african studies back in and there to nigeria researcher for human rights watch war welcome to all of you. o.b.l. if you do you trust the government what it says that it is going to or that it has indeed scrapped sauce no i don't this is the flights or the feet time that the government is crap incest i said earlier this year last year not disappear the vice president himself man says and yes it is do or

i do not trust the government to see their scripts only trust them when the source of the shelves or now the rooms on our streets leave the streets as an economic terms then one noun is just talks and no actions i do not need to go the night so much any this time is different in the sense that the momentum is building up against police brutality do you think that this is something that could be conducive to a dramatic change in nigeria yes i do think so i think come. seem different this time around because they are different who once we see the youth of russia to decided to do not going to wait any longer for political class to be true that the source of their salvation they decide of the how to get. into their own hands basically if anyone thinks to turn around for the 1st time in nigeria and so receivers there's no political considerations he can each of the

proofs are so far and that's because the use of to look at themselves through to me the process. an ear to i meant when i spoke to be on edge about whether she trusts the government she said no but think while you talk to people the general sentiment is this does not seem to be a genuine reform because what is happening looks like we're deploying police officers from sas into a new entity called swat do you see it the same way yes i mean people are asking for any form that goes beyond changing what you need to be out there on moving these officers around they want to see you know deep rooted changes that address major issues around corruption and accountability from not just size office of the 2 members of the nigerian police force all together they're calling for action in terms of the recruitment process our police officers the training you

know what sort of accountability mechanisms are be put in place within the police system an outside of the system that ensures that any member of the force that is being accused of wrongdoing is brought to book they're looking for a system that allows transparency into funds that come into line police operations to really ensure that the police officers are well equipped with the sort of weapons and equipment that they need to be able to carry out their jobs so until people get a sense that these deep rooted changes will be made across or it is that it's going to be very very difficult for your current ceased to engender trust and ask support from citizens. you lost your brother to police brutality what do you think should be very top priority now do you want to start 1st with prosecuting those who committed atrocities or is it or is going to be compensation for the families or

changing the whole or security landscape in nigeria. you see all the can happen some time with tenuously because the persecution of killer cops in the wild at the same time can sit in families where lost their loved ones so brutality and that's what reforming our security agents is an engineer they can't see that this is a long process it is a process that we can start already has that been the only way that people people like myself bubbles in the industry to stop with the protest is wrong is that seen actions for someone like me a lot of my blood and everything separately it is just to my lawyers to the idea of these since july this written at least 3 times the idea of least looking into this not uninvestigated and not seen as come out of it there is no visitation being carried out nor feed back to us when things like this are meant means that i can't trust them to do anything right and if that be the kids i do not think that any

that will live in the streets to well it went. and it was start with accountability it was that we just in was that also what reforming this bill is of that and these going up was it was somewhat serious and it's current and ensuite the best way to do any of the government is sending mixed messages we have seen. president hardy talking about the need to to to before the police force yet the army has sent a warning to the protesters to stay away from the streets how do you explain that i think. speaking from. the sides of the problem our government basically tells us what we trust all we need to know basically about a government. perception of what's happening right now and and how the government sees all of this basically i think that's the reason why we're likely to see that

you leave the streets anytime soon because they can tell that the government paying them lip service when it's a side who wants to go to court to form of despair and sass i believe we're going to tour the mentioned this isn't the 1st time. in recent years of governments spoken about wanting to reform or or disband to dissolve a sauced was always one. of his country terminology to the they they did they they did they can show up one of our people come out and they see look things have to change and some people. think i'm going to change anytime soon unless he could pressure on the government and and should in the government basically if you take consistent of measures for that to be true for change to come about basically in terms of the reformation actual reform issues of the police institution countrywide

and yet here this is what is interesting about there have been many investigations in the past and probes into police brutality and the need to reform the police and there's been a what the general consensus in nigeria that the police force is perhaps the most corrupt institution in nigeria however it's a no go zone why's that. i think we really witnessed over ringback the last year deep seated. you know in action from the authorities there has been no political will to look into this institution that is one of the more important to ensure the safety and security of nigerians and across the country and we've seen that this unwillingness has led to you know more uses more prevalence of corruption within the force and i has brought us to where we are today so it's no longer an option

for your parties to invade the need for these accountability however difficult process might be there has to be that sticking to stop the process and really ensure at whatever level of the system these abuses are been taking place or it's been institutionalized that change starts really take place or be an issue audio among those who believe that it's about time to change the lives this legislation itself because one of the biggest problems about the police force is the way the legislation has been established in the jurisdiction of the roles of the factions the functions of the different institutions operating the . yeah you see our police colony on the. mall the whole idea of enforcing the law that's the problem. and again our police is highly militarized i do not see the reason why those working on the streets

where there is no war does not because war is a spike in crime is walking around with a knife 84 to 7 there's no need for this this is why did what about dream differently and again our police is rarely held accountable when you go to the commission of a police state cannot believe of his deeds to complain about police brutality or the but things that they do he does it again one day jurisdiction you can't control . you they should go to the i.g.a. what are the i.g. he does it would probably be complements the but means all these means that there is not ability if we do not legislature or we don't have nor that guiding the police that we can't hold them accountable for dudu notion which is totally changes we should reform our nose in. some our legislature and change every law that is going to police the mission that they become one accountable and we demilitarize them our police officers do not even have regular drug checks or

psychological when we do not have these kind of things for people who are supposed to beat out of our security they will not sit in the country having them all dis peoples because now do we put that be used against the masses genocide is it wouldn't it that peeping conditions are very bad the police are very but maybe conditions and that ability should reform maybe to make them to a better approach to human to people to citizens of the society we destroy i really struggle to understand how this of i've. amount of and are being paid with living conditions but that notwithstanding is not enough. is it for them to god that allows people killing people humming them ripping young girls and we are no longer beyond would add some time because these kind of people as opposed to the care of you adore the hordes and there is no way to market and yes we need a riot ok and

a lot. in this what we've just heard from your has been buffeting many internationally this is one of the richest nations in the world its police force is under resourced inadequately trained paving the way for the abuses of the corruption that has been pervasive for for decades how whether the police force usually comes under the umbrella of the minister of interior except for nigeria where force and the ministry of interior the police council and president himself and that's that's that could be the reason why it's very corrupt if you do not come as a surprise of that. please please a major major role in the corruption of the hearts of the police and i believe that's sort of the point out. leading to as well in the sense that tom all of the some brutus he's been used to deprive the police of funding for the

requisite funded they need in order to to live decent lives in order to have to have decent lives in order to perform their jobs optimally and serve because the police themselves have been dish human sized by the political class in nigeria over several generations victims often turn around and issue mines that flew nigerians who just supposed to be protecting the same should and it's a cycle that just keeps repeating itself over and over again and yet if there is a window room for human rights organizations such as yours our local n.g.o.s to help fix things because as you know the police force comes under 2 major over oversight the one of the police council and the one of the police service commission which is mandated to exercise disciplinary control over abuses of the police is that possible can n.g.o.s step in in practice and change things on the

ground. so i think a lot of. proposals that your fight is have brought forward in this we new efforts to ensure accountability and reform the system is really to bring our members of the public under the umbrella of you know the movement that is currently on go it or civil society groups who have really been involved before and even now trying to ensure and push lock these before and they're doing this under their national human rights commission and they're really hoping to as i see it try. new ways to ensure that there is accountability beyond that which to the system provides now while internal accountability is important then we can see that we. need commissions i also think there is ringback a deep seated need for external decides in and that and the role in which

society can play in making that happen really has to be has to be highlighted and has to be used to the best advantage and to an extent that we're ensuring that there's trust from citizens and there is an see that comes not only out from from the government but also from what citizens can actually see. or be as we cannot talk about police reform without talking about the i.g.p. of the inspector general of the police someone that the who is appointed by the police council with a nod from the president do you think that it's about time to limit the term of the i.g.p. and also to hold him accountable for the abuses by the police officers yes we should certainly be able to do that in fact one of the that we are clamoring for is for the i.g.p. to resign this current because own eyes on those command the police are

consistently brutalized and the only did a human rights several it is under his command that the police have done the highest crimes in the city. we don't was being a way to hold him accountable that was be a way to hold a g.p.s. accountable if we hold him accountable it will teach or die i.g.p. doubt but kamel a lesson to know that we do not tolerate this thing on a local montreal with other people. how respect have respect for the dignity of life. evil peaceful protesters of be bussed year ago that being true are not always what our canons are used on all as did be doesn't break our phones why we are peaceful protests those with cardboard sign papers we're not doing anything wrong and this is an idea we decided he doesn't have any problems with peaceful

protests yet he meant that under his command going against doing on if he doesn't have the common or garden you know that i want to live and then he should be ok another we should be deal with everyone and if this is a measure that has been traumatized by wars and by military coups to the point where the the minute a joint as in the past were very skeptical of the police force and do you think that vast parts of nigeria continues to haunt the country and this explains why police brutality and disrespect of human basic fundamentals still exist in a nation like nigeria absolutely i think it plays up a major major major role in. the many years for my generation spent on the on under me to basically traumatized gentile nation to include the police and so when we're still not learned how to. properly function

the way. people under our. ross reject if you don't try to primes basically until you have the police basically behaving the way the mood you're on and respect under military rule because we mustn't forget that during militaru niger's we're not allowed to protest freely basically our manager is. treated as if their lines did not match up and silver suv the clamor for the nigerian lies to muster up to the police force did not just begin yesterday it's in this you know you don't go in for several decades not idea to from the police acting to $1004.00 and you look at all that's political legacy from obasanjo all the way towards a lot of water yeah dog goodluck jonathan. you get a sense that the police force itself has ended up becoming an over centralized

institution when the federal system itself should be conducive to more decentralized for should this be the gate to reforming the police decentralizing the police for force i mean this is an argument that has come up in the country or namely it's all clamoring and advocating for state police and me making a point that there will be more accountability if states were allowed to control their own police force to fund their own police force and basically ensure that there is a level of community policing that allows people know all the officers in their areas are and out these are simulated in different states where the the the way they function but on the other hand there are arguments about how d.c.

police. but these commands in different states if they are left seem to the states themselves to organize and to sue to ensure that their functioning might become delicious for the new the state governments or a particular region i am in so this was really been a debate on the name to move forward i but i did end of the day i am where i ski for our citizens are asking for a system that best suits are a police force that allows for accountability thank you it's just that there's if you for citizens i really applaud you for your contribution to the program fortunately we have to leave it there. a anya any deli there j a n e a t thank you very much indeed for your contribution to the program today and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website dot com for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com for was last ha inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is
