The House of Representatives has called for provision of body-worn cameras for police, customs officers and other security agents.
Adopting a motion by CHINEDU EMEKA MARTINS, the House said the cameras would ensure security of operatives and citizens.
MARTINS had cited allegations of harassment, extortion and extra-judicial killings of citizens by security operatives.
He said body cameras would keep the security operatives in check, considering the massive allegations of human rights violation against them and lack of evidence to indict them.
The House therefore mandated its Committees on Police Affairs, Army and National Security and Intelligence to ensure compliance.
In another vein, the lawmakers called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to urgently deploy physical enumerators and other assistance to conduct new voter registration across all federal constituencies.
This followed a motion by ABUBAKAR YALLEMAN.
INEC had put in place a machinery for a virtual continuous voters registration, but the online process does not seem satisfactory to the lawmakers.
