About 14,000 policemen and 200 civilians, mostly traders in various parts of Lagos State, have been trained in human rights issues. 

The training was organised by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), the Crime Victims Foundation (CVF) and the Human Rights Education Awareness Centre (HUREC).
The CVF Executive Director, Gloria Ebuji, said thorough understanding of human rights between the police and civilians would provide mutual benefit in quality service in areas of service delivery, safety and justice.
She said: “In the area of police training, our NGO, in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force, has trained more than 14,000 police officers in human rights from the ranks of chief superintendent of police to constables, we have also trained 200 civilians mostly traders in Lagos. “We are targeting the 36 states of the country and very soon, human rights education and awareness will be everywhere.”
