Miners’ deaths: NBA seeks tough measures against abuse in...
原文原文 / Original TextThe Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has demanded tough measures against what it described as “avoidable deaths” in detention facilities across the country, saying no operative of any government agencies should subject any Nigerians to torture.
This is just as the lawyers’ professional body maintained that no democracy can survive on elections alone without strong institutions, respect for the rule of law, accountability, transparency, independent oversight as well as an informed and engaged citizenry.
The Chairperson, NBA Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL), Dr. Uju Agomoh, made this call in Abuja at a press briefing to herald the forthcoming annual conference of the NBA-SPIDEL themed: “In Public Interest: Advancing Justice, Democracy and Development”, on Wednesday.

Speaking on the incident, the umbrella body for lawyers in the country harped on the need to ensure that detention facilities operate in accordance with Nigerian law and internationally recognised human rights standards.
Dr. Agomoh stated that it was expedient for lawyers to organise the conference at this time in order to examine some of the most pressing issues affecting justice, democracy and development in Nigeria.
