Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n
\u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, so far, we are only scratching the surface of the problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd there\u2019s been no indication that the government is prepared yet to respect the rights of the Nigerian people embodied in the constitution and other statues.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 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,\u201d Falana said.<\/p>\n
