Desperate time they say, calls for desperate measures. A group of Nigerians both at home and in diaspora after observing the incessant intimidation, extra judicial killing and illegal detention of innocent Nigerians, have come together to float what they called due process advocate. You pay to become a member and whenever you are arrested by police illegally, they intervene on your behalf, publicize your incarceration, send a lawyer to help bail you and probably prevent maltreatment by police. This is the same police force that Vice president of Nigeria rated very high not long ago. This is a country claiming to practice democracy but any innocent person can be arrested and jailed for years without any recourse to law or government intervention. In my own assessment the due process advocate is doing a good job but that is something that can only arise in a malfunctioning environment. I believe Nigerian police should re-train and not become a terrorist against which Nigerians are now paying dues to be protected from. The proposed regional police should take off immediately let me see if a local police will maltreat their people the way the present police maltreat Nigerians
