    “We once again call upon the Nigerian government and African states to intensify their efforts to eradicate torture.
    “Concrete steps must be taken to implement effective legal frameworks, ensure accountability for perpetrators, and provide adequate resources for the support and rehabilitation of survivors.

    She appealed for continuous training for law enforcement and security personnel on human rights and the absolute prohibition of torture.
    “We urge them to establish and strengthen independent bodies to monitor detention facilities and investigate allegations of torture.
    “Also, the government needs to resource​​​ the​ National​ Preventive Mechanism (NPM) adequately to enable its effective functioning and full compliance with the provisions of the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention Against Torture, Cruel, Inhumane and Degrading Treatment​​or​ Punishment​​(OPCAT).​
    “This includes​ providing​​ sufficient funding, staffing, and training to ensure the NPM can effectively carry out its mandate, “she said.
    The PRAWA boss also called on​ the international community to support African nations in their fight against torture by providing technical ​​​assistance,​​funding,​and capacity-building initiatives.
