PUBLIC INTEREST ALERT: “Clarifying Roles: Activists Are Not Law Enforcement Agents”

No, human rights Activists in Delta State have the legal authority to arrest or detain individuals, let alone use handcuffs. Arresting someone and using restraints are powers generally reserved for law enforcement agencies operating under specific legal frameworks.

Human Rights Activists can report incidents of human rights violations or crimes to the appropriate authorities and advocate for justice. However, taking the law into their own hands—such as arresting people—would likely be considered unlawful and could result in legal consequences for the activist.

*Our role as Human Rights Activists is to promote and protect human rights within the boundaries of the law, not to enforce it in Delta State or Nigeria at large.

Note: IF YOU ARE A HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST AND YOU LOVE USING HANDCUFFS ON CITIZENS, KINDLY GO TO APPLY TO JOIN THE NIGERIA POLICE.

SECURITY AGENCIES IN DELTA STATE PARTICULARLY THE DELTA STATE POLICE COMMAND LEADERSHIP SHOULD BE AWARE THAT SOME SELF ACCLAIMED ACTIVISTS ARE CURRENTLY GOING ABOUT USING HANDCUFFS FOR CIVIL ARRESTS AND THEY USUALLY CALL THE NAME OF THE POLICE. THE SURVEILLANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE AREA COMMAND WAS MENTIONED. WE EXPECT THE POLICE LEADERSHIP SHOULD AVOID NEGLIGENCE OF THIS INFORMATION.
