The Commissioner Representing Human Rights, North Central, in the Commission, Mr. Rommy Mom who made this disclosure in Makurdi during an interactive session with Police personnel and officers in the North Central zone, stated that with less than 350,000 Police personnel Nigeria was grossly under policed.

He said “with this figure we have a ratio of 32 Police officers to almost 800 Nigerians which is grossly in adequate. That is far below the international standards which should be 132 to 100,000 persons. So we will annually recruit 30,000 personnel until we address the shortfall.”

“No doubt Our personnel are very small, they are also living in conditions that could be much better in terms of the challenges they face on their jobs.

Mom stated that since the police would play a critical role in ensuring the success of the coming general elections, the PSC had set mechanism in motion to monitor the conduct of the Police before, during and after the election.

Earlier, the Benue state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Omololu Bishi who said the Police had a duty to ensure that the coming general elections were free, fair and credible charged them to be professional in the discharge of that responsibilities.

“The success of that election is with us, if we are unbiased and ensure that we provide adequate security and level playing field for all, it woulda certainly be successful,” Bishi said.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
