Both documents present COI on prison conditions according to those issues identified by UK1 and European Court of Human Rights case law2, the Istanbul Protocol: Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment3 and the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Nelson Mandela Rules)4. Research has therefore been presented on the following issues in the context of Nigerian detention facilities and where possible, this has been disaggregated by actor administering the detention facility: detention in general (control of facility unknown); police; State Security Service (SSS); Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS); and military: 1. Physical or psychological torture, inhuman or degrading treatment 2. Use of forced confessions 3. Deaths in custody 4. Size of cells, overcrowding [less than 3m2 of personal space] 5. Solitary confinement, social isolation, incommunicado detention, constraints to out of cell activities and freedom of movement 6. Unhygienic conditions 7. Restrictions to medical care 8. Irregular or contaminated food and water 9. Deprivation of normal sensory stimulation, such as sound, light, sense of time, isolation, manipulation of brightness of the cell, abuse of physiological needs, restriction of sleep, motor activities, denial of privacy and forced nakedness, exposure to extreme temperatures 10. Number of prisoners on remand and length of pre-trial detention 11. Factors that affect length of pre-trial detention 12. Effective monitoring 13. Investigations and accountability 14. Redress 15. Impunity for state human rights abuses 16. Death penalty, especially after unfair trails 17. Access to legal representation 18. Separation of and situation for women detainees 19. Situation of detained children 20. Discrimination including freedom to practice religion, special needs including treatment of disabled prisoners 1 See ‘Legal Notes’ in the Appendix 2 See for example, European Court of Human Rights, Detention conditions and treatment of prisoners, July 2019 3 UN, Istanbul Protocol: Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, 2004 4 UN, United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Nelson Mandela Rules), 17 December 2015 6 At the time of drafting, a Home Office Country Policy and Information Note (CPIN) was available on Nigeria: Prison Conditions which raised a number of additional relevant issues for research. Whilst the CPIN was archived before the publication of this report, the following issues have still been addressed in this report: 21. Incidence of arbitrary detention / detention without trial 22. Factors increasing vulnerability to (arbitrary) detention 23. Rise in implementation of Sharia law, including being imposed against those not of Muslim faith 24. Military deployed to do the work of the police and related accountability issues 25. Appropriation of state powers by individual police/prison officers for personal gain 26. Confinement in IDP camps 7 Explanatory Note This report presents Country of Origin Information (COI) researched by ARC Foundation between 1st January 2018 and 25 September 2019 on issues identified to be of relevance for an assessment of conditions in Nigerian detention facilities. It is presented by the themes identified above in chronological order. The COI presented is illustrative, but not exhaustive of the information available in the public domain, nor is it determinative of any individual human rights or asylum claim. All sources are publicly available and a direct hyperlink has been provided. A list of sources and databases consulted is also provided in this report, to enable users to conduct further research and to undertake source assessments. ARC Foundation is grateful to David Neale, Legal Researcher at Garden Court Chambers, for preparing the legal notes and for his guidance in shaping this report. The following reports pre-date the cut-off point of this report and have therefore not been included but provide detailed historical information of police abuses in Nigeria: Human Rights Watch, “Everyone’s in on the Game” Corruption and

  • Corruption in Civil Society Activism in the Niger Delta and Defines Csos to Include Ngos, Self-Help Groups and Militant Organisations
    THE ROLE OF CORRUPTION ON CIVIL SOCIETY ACTIVISM IN THE NIGER DELTA BY TOMONIDIEOKUMA BRIGHT A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LANCASTER UNIVERSITY FOR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUBMISSION DATE: SEPTEMBER, 2019 i Abstract: This thesis studies the challenges and relationships between the Niger delta people, the federal government and Multinational Oil Companies (MNOCs). It describes the major problems caused by unmonitored crude oil exploitation as environmental degradation and underdevelopment. The study highlights the array of roles played by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in filling the gap between the stakeholders in the oil industry and crude oil host communities. Except for the contributions from Austin Ikelegbe (2001), Okechukwu Ibeanu (2006) and Shola Omotola (2009), there is a limitation in the literature on corruption and civil society activism in the Niger delta. These authors dwelt on the role of CSOs in the region’s struggle. But this research fills a knowledge gap on the role of corruption in civil society activism in the Niger delta and defines CSOs to include NGOs, self-help groups and militant organisations. Corruption is problematic in Nigeria and affects every sector of the economy including CSOs. The corruption in CSOs is demonstrated in their relationship with MNOCs, the federal government, host communities and donor organisations. Smith (2010) discussed the corruption in NGOs in Nigeria which is also different because this work focuses on the role of corruption in CSOs in the Niger delta and the problems around crude oil exploitation. The findings from the fieldwork using oral history, ethnography, structured and semi-structured interview methods show that corruption impacts CSOs activism in diverse ways and has structural and historical roots embedded in colonialism.

  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

Please give now to support our work » (Abuja) – The killing of hundreds of Shia Muslim members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), by Nigerian army soldiers from December 12 to 14, 2015, appears to have been wholly unjustified. The Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the government should be sufficiently independent and impartial to hold those responsible to account. Human Rights Watch interviewed 16 witnesses to the killings and five others, including local authorities, who said that Nigerian army soldiers fired on Shia Muslim members of the group at three locations in Zaria, in northern Nigeria. The army said its confrontation with the Shia sect members who had erected a makeshift roadblock near a mosque resulted from an assassination attempt on the army chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, whose convoy was passing by. In an internal military document seen by Human Rights Watch, the army said protesters appeared to be taking up positions near the back of the convoy. “The Nigerian military’s version of events does not stack up,” said Daniel Bekele, Africa director at Human Rights Watch.

I. Faleyimu1*, B. O. Agbeja2 and O. Akinyemi1 1Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka, Kaduna, Nigeria. 2Department of Forest Resources Management, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo Sate, Nigeria. Accepted 13 August, 2010 The study investigated the state of forest regeneration in southwest Nigeria forest service. Secondary data were collected from the state forestry departments in South-Western Nigeria. The information was based on the forest regeneration between 1988 and 2004 as stipulated in the national forest policy of 1988. The study revealed that there were a total of 1619.19 ha of forest regeneration between 1988 and 2004 in south-west Nigeria. The largest was in Oyo State with an area of 6745 ha, followed by Ondo State with 4910.27 ha. Others were Ogun State (2700 ha), Ekiti State (1456 ha), Lagos State (656 ha) and the least was in Osun State with 481 ha. In this regards, unless there is regeneration and sustained yield to equate harvest, the depletion rates of the forest are bound to continue with adverse consequences on the environment. Key words: Forest regeneration, forest policy, forest management. INTRODUCTION Literature is replete with overwhelming evidence of the country’s forest policy. This utopian situation is rarely, if significance of forests to human existence.

  • Naiis National Factsheet
    NAIIS SHEET The 2018 Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) was a national household-based survey that assessed the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and related health indicators. Data collection in South West Zone was done from July through December 2018. Data were collected from household members age 0-64 years. Home-based HIV counseling and testing services were provided to people who participated in the survey. Participants receiving an HIV-positive test result were linked to treatment services. NAIIS data includes national, zonal, and state information on HIV control activities in Nigeria. NAIIS was led by the Government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), conducted with funding from the United States (U.S.) President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria with technical assistance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The survey was implemented by the NAIIS Consortium, led by the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) under the supervision of the NAIIS Technical Committee.
