Emmanuel Onwubiko: Stopping Nigeria's killer police - Daily Post Nigeria

These series of worldwide advocacy campaigns were engineered by a notable campaign platform aptly called “Black Lives Matter”.

We visited the website of the British Broadcasting Corporation for a timeline of black deaths called by police. The exact circumstances of the encounter are disputed, but Brown was shot six times, according to autopsy reports.The incident led to multiple waves of protests and civil unrest in Ferguson, boosting the Black Lives Matter movement further.

Mr Scott had been pulled over for having a defective light on his car in North Charleston, South Carolina, and ran away from the police officer after a brief scuffle.5 July 2016: Alton Sterling: Alton Sterling’s death led to days of protests in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Mr Sterling was killed after police responded to reports of a disturbance outside a shop.The two officers involved did not face criminal charges, but one was dismissed and the other suspended from the police.

13 March 2020: Breonna Taylor: Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician was shot eight times when officers raided her apartment in Louisville, Kentucky.How Breonna Taylor became a rallying cry at protests Louisville police said they returned fire after one officer was shot and wounded in the incident.

F. Schiliro, and K-K. CHOO did a piece “the Role of mobile devices in enhancing the policing system to improve efficiency and effectiveness.” It is therefore shocking that whereas some persons in Nigeria of Nigerian origin who out of passionate dislike for these practices of police extra legal killings of blacks in the Diaspora, staged a protest to the Abuja embassy of the United States of America, these crowds of people have failed to enact the same passionate public protests against the persistent killings of Nigerian citizens by the police of Nigeria.

The above and a plethora of other key legal provisions absolutely delegitimizes the application of torture and extra legal executions of suspects by police but sadly, these unlawful tactics have continued and these laws that seek to preserve the sanctity of human life have continued to be flouted and disrespected with impunity by the police in Nigeria.
