| 520 | |a The paper examines the use and abuse of police powers in Nigeria, with emphasis on extrajudicial killing. It argues that extrajudicial killing is the most serious abuse of power and violation of victims’ rights to life and fair hearing.

This culture of impunity is derived largely from Government’s authorization of a policy of shoot-to-kill, when in confrontation with armed robbers and other dangerous criminals. | ||
