Popularly singer, Falz urged the President, Muhammadu Buhari to reconstitute the governing council of the National Human Right’s Commission.
This comes in the wake of protests against police brutality which has seen a series of attacks on unarmed #EndSARS/EndSWAT protesters by unknown armed hired thugs in Lagos and Abuja.
Falz’s demand was contained in an open letter addressed to the president via his verified social media account, titled “Request for reconstitution of the governing council of the national human rights commission for the discharge of its functions with respect to cases of human rights violations in Nigeria.”
According to the Falz who is also a Lawyer, the Human Rights Commission as stated by the body’s constitution has the right to “receive complaints and investigate all alleged cases of human rights violations in Nigeria and make appropriate recommendations to the President.”
He added that human rights abuse has aggravated in the country because the “National Human Rights Commission has remained without the Governing Council since 2015.”
