Activists target Nigeria's 'kill and go' police

[dArKeR]

"Kill and go": this is the nickname that has been given to Nigeria's mobile police unit. Its members have an alleged propensity to gun down people at the slightest provocation, then walk away unconcerned.

The reputation of other police units is scarcely better. Almost on a daily basis, Nigerians hear reports of people shot dead either by the mobile or regular police.

Damian Ugwu, head of the Law Enforcement Project at the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), Nigeria's largest human-rights group, says death in detention also appears to be a problem.

When you run a country for the benefit of big corporations, you need a heavy hand to keep the people down.
