Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has claimed there
are no signs that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is ready to
respect the rights of Nigerians.
Speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday night, Falana
also criticized the federal government for setting up the Special Weapons and
Tactics (SWAT) Team, to replace the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Unit (SARS).
“As far as I’m concerned, so far, we are only scratching the
surface of the problem.
“And there’s been no indication that the government is
prepared yet to respect the rights of the Nigerian people embodied in the
constitution and other statues.
“For me, it is not actually the name that matters and I
think what the youths are saying is that beyond renaming, they want to see
concrete steps taken to show that it is not going to be business as usual when
it comes to policing in Nigeria,” Falana said.
