Popular singer, Folarin Falana, popularly called Falz, has
urged the President, Major General 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.”
As such, Falz stated that the “commission need not set up
another panel for the exercise of its functions,” thereby negating the creation
of an independent panel as earlier stated by the president’s Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Femi Adeshina.
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.”
