Anaedoonline.com reported that The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has reiterated the resolve of the Nigerian Police Force, NPF to end all forms of human rights abuses which has negatively affected the image of the force.

Adamu made this known during the opening ceremony of a five-day capacity training on Human Rights organized by the Prisoners Rehabilitation and Welfare Action, PRAWA for officers at the Police Detective College, Enugu.

Adamu who was represented by the Commissioner of Police, CP in charge of Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, Finihan Adeoye said that there have been series of efforts aimed at ensuring that men and women of the NPF are repositioned for better service delivery.

He said that the entire duty of maintenance of law and other, protection of lives and property, apprehension of offenders, investigation of the offenders and prosecution which are contained in the section 4 of the Police Act are for the purpose of ensuring that the rights of the people are not unlawfully violated or trampled upon.

He, however, noted that it becomes unacceptable when officers of the force who are saddled with the responsibility of protecting these rights are found violating the same rights they ought to protect

“In a bid to ensure that officers of the force carry out their duties to the core, training and retraining of officers have been identified as the key measures and that is why the IGP has decided to go into partnership with critical stakeholders such as PRAWA and other international organization, believing that it will enhance their capacity and improve their performance” he said.
