A Nigerian court rules citizens can record police in public, mandates visible ID tags, and awards damages after a lawyer was threatened.
A Nigerian federal court has ruled that citizens have the constitutional right to record police officers during public duties, declaring anonymous policing unconstitutional.
The decision, from the Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, mandates that officers wear visible name tags and force numbers and prohibits harassment, arrest, or confiscation of recording devices.
The court awarded N5 million in damages and N2 million in legal costs to lawyer Maxwell Uwaifo, who filed the case after being threatened during a stop-and-search.
The ruling requires the Police Service Commission and Nigeria Police Force to issue compliance guidelines, provide training, and enforce disciplinary actions for violations, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
