Recommendations - Torture
Amnesty International calls on the government of Nigeria to:
Ensure that the Anti-Torture Act is implemented fully and effectively across
Nigeria and issue a clear public directive to all members of the police, military and
other security forces, that torture and other ill-treatment will not be tolerated under
any circumstances.
Promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigate all allegations of torture and
other ill-treatment and bring anyone suspected to be responsible to justice in a fair
trial without recourse to the death penalty.
Ensure that statements and other information or materials obtained through
torture and other ill-treatment are not used as evidence in courts. And include such
prohibitions in professional training programmes for police, soldiers, judges,
prosecutors and lawyers.
End the practice of incommunicado detention and ensure that all detainees
have access to their family, a lawyer and doctor immediately after their arrest and
regularly throughout the period of their detention or imprisonment
