#EndSARS: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR @NigeriaGov, @nassnigeria @NGFSecretariat

1. Prosecute or release all innocent Nigerians held in @PoliceNG, FSARS, DSS & @officialEFCC holding cells, across Nigeria.

2. Hasten the prosecution or drop charges against 51,983 of 73,726 inmates awaiting trial across Nigeria's prisons.

As at April 2020, only 22, 773 inmates are convicts. A lot of innocent Nigerians are languishing in prisons and holding cells of @PoliceNG, DSS, @officialEFCC...

3. Drop the trump-up charges leveled against Youth activists and Prisoners of Conscience, fighting for #ABetterNigeria, such as @YeleSowore, Olawale Bakare (aka Mandate), et al.

4. Order the immediate closure of all SARS/FSARS detention facilities across Nigeria, including the dreaded Awkuzu SARS, in Anambra State, South East, Nigeria.

5. Order the immediate investigation, arrest and prosecution of the notorious former OC SARS, Awkuzu, retired CSP James Nwafor, as well as his colleagues, across all SARS/FSARS units, for their crimes against humanity.

6. Countless cases of misconducts/impunity by the @PoliceNG abound on the timeline of its Complaint Response Unit- @PoliceNG_CRU.

Immediately order a comprehensive audit of its activities since October 2015, & immediately Dismiss, Demote, Prosecute & Jail those found culpable.

7. For Police Accountability & National Security, via an Act of Parliament, @PoliceNG should be decentralised into 37 Independent State Police & 774+ Independent Local Police Departments.

I've continuously advocated for this effective policing model, since February 2020.

8. Pending when @NigeriaGov, @nassnigeria & @kfayemi-led @NGFSecretariat are ready to decentralise @PoliceNG, I suggest the immediate decentralisation of @PoliceNG_CRU across the 36 States Commands, including FCT Abuja.

Abuja is too far to ensure the effectiveness of this unit.

9. Morph @PoliceNG_CRU across the 36 States & FCT Abuja into two departments:

- Complaints for misconducts/impunity by @PoliceNG personnels against the civilian populace.

- Complaints about crime incidents, fire incidents, auto crash incidents.

@feminist_co did it in 10days.

10. For effectiveness of the new @PoliceNG_CRU departments across the 36 States and FCT Abuja, the 112 emergency toll-free helpline supposedly launched by @NGRPresident & Communications Minister, @DrIsaPantami in March 2020, must come alive now. Seek help from Nigerian youths.

11. @NGFSecretariat supported by @NigeriaGov should build state-of-the-art 112 Work Stations across the 36 States & Abuja, with unrestricted reachability down to their Local Government Areas. Nigerians across the 774 LGAs should be able to reach this toll-free help-line 24/7.

12. The Panel @jidesanwoolu, et al, are mouthing is needed within the new @PoliceNG_CRU.

@NigBarAssoc, @AmnestyNigeria, @NhrcNigeria, civil society groups, et al, must join the @PoliceNG in immediately investigating reported cases of Police misconducts for necessary actions.

13. END- 112 Emergency Toll-Free Service must be decentralised, & reachable across 774 LGAs. @PoliceNG_CRU Dept for Crimes/Fire/Crash Complaints across the 36 States & Abuja, must hire & train Nigerian Youths as dispatchers, working 24/7.
