US report raises concerns over security, justice in Nigeria

Image
U.S.  Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Nigeria and what it reveals about the state of security and justice in the country: 1. Enforced Disappearances & Arbitrary Detentions The report flagged widespread cases of individuals being detained without warrants or due process. Security forces may hold suspects indefinitely in investigative detention, deny access to lawyers or family, and sometimes overlook the law requiring appearance before a magistrate within 48 hours or initial detention not exceeding 14 days. 2. Pre-trial Detention & Judicial Delays Some detainees remain in custody for periods that equal or exceed the maximum sentence for their alleged crimes. A combination of a shortage of trial judges, trial backlogs, bureaucratic inefficiencies, corruption, and political interference significantly undermines the judicial system. Basic logistics, such as lack of transport to court or lost files, frequently result in prolonged detention. 3. Minimum Wage...
