Lekki Tollgate: ECOWAS Court Rules Nigeria Violated Human Rights During #EndSARS Protest

Summary of the news
The Chief Whip of the Senate, Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South), has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is unaware of the current situation outside the Presidential Villa.
He stated that Nigerians are increasingly frustrated by the Tinubu-led government’s perceived failure to tackle poverty, insecurity, hunger, and other pressing issues.
The major problem with this government is that its doors are closed, to the extent that even some ministers cannot see the President, not to mention members of the National Assembly, who do not have the opportunity to meet with him and discuss the issues affecting their constituencies,” Ndume said.

The Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has ruled that the Federal Republic of Nigeria violated the human rights of Obianuju Catherine Udeh and two others.
The ruling, delivered on July 10, 2024, found Nigeria in breach of several articles of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
However, the judge ruled that the Respondent must pay each Applicant Two Million Naira (N2 million) as compensation for violations of their security of person, prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and association, duty to investigate human rights violations, and right to effective remedy.

The need to enhance protein production, increase employment opportunities and government revenue informed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision for establishing the Ministry of Livestock Development.
Providing this clarity, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, explained further that the proposed ministry would focus on livestock development, allowing the Ministry of Agriculture to concentrate on other areas.
While acknowledging that creating a new ministry may seem counterintuitive to the government’s goal of reducing governance costs, Fagbemi emphasized that the benefits of this decision would outweigh the costs.
