National Assembly Urged To Pass Law Criminalizing Rogue Police Officers Who Extort Nigerians

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has asked the National Assembly to pass a law criminalizing systemic extortion of Nigerians by “rogue police officers”.

HURIWA alleged on Sunday that there is an unprecedented rise in the systematic extortion of victims of crime by police operatives and top ranked officers before their cases are investigated and resolved.
