The Nigeria Police Force has
introduced human rights syllabus into its training colleges and
institutions nationwide to enhance professionalism and ethics among
police officers in the country.
Speaking at a seminar for commandant of police colleges organised by the Prisoners Rehabilitation and Welfare Action, the Ministry of Police Affairs, and Police Service Commission, in Abuja on Tuesday, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, noted that the new syllabus would foster citizen confidence in the system.
The IG stated that the syllabus would streamline the training on human rights and enable police personnel adhere to the rule of law and observance of fundamental human rights in all ramifications of police duties.
He said, “Policing in a democracy is premised on adherence to the rule of law and observance of fundamental human rights in all ramifications of police duties and this human rights syllabus will enhance professionalism and ethics among officers.”
Abubakar, who was represented by the DIG training, Atiku Kafur, said that bringing the Commandants of Police training institutions on board the project is a right step in the direction of entrenching human rights training in the curriculum
of police colleges and schools.
The executive director, PRAWA, Dr. Uju Agomoh, explained that the seminar was meant to train the commandants who are expected to pass their knowledge to the junior officers and personnel.
