Citizen’s Gavel, a non-governmental organisation working for better and faster justice delivery, human rights promotion, and transparency and accountability in the justice system, has commended South-West governors on the establishment of Amotekun while making a strong case for the respect of human rights.
Nelson Olanipekun, Team Lead, Citizens’ Gavel, recommended that for the Amotekun Bill to forestall human rights abuse and promote accountability of operatives, it must provide for punishments and other disciplinary measures that can be adopted whenever there is a violation of human rights provisions.
“It is wrong and unacceptable to allow the outfit 30 days to pursue any form of infraction especially when it involves human rights violations. “Section 34 precludes members of Amotekun Corps from being sued which is contrary to the rights of every citizen to demand accountability from perpetrators.He questioned that the law guiding the establishment of the security outfit does not specifically provide for offenses or infractions that Amotekun Corps can be held liable for.
