A resolution that body cameras should be provided for all security operatives including the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) as part of the effort to tackle corrupt practices has been passed by the House of Representatives.

Also, an establishment of situation rooms by security agencies to monitor and coordinate footage was also directeThe resolution was passed during the plenary session on Thursday following the adoption of a motion sponsored by Chinedu Emeka, a lawmaker from Imo State, noting that the cameras would prevent security operatives from engaging in unprofessional practices.

“Security agencies have been exploring solutions to mitigate the growing insecurity in the country, especially considering the lack of adherence to rules of engagement on the part of security operatives on duty.

“A body camera is a wearable audio-visual or photographic system which integrates with in-car video, and used to record events involving law enforcement officers in order to improve transparency and accountability of law enforcement agencies.

“The allegations of harassment, extortion and extra-judicial killings of citizens by security operatives often result in reprisals and uprising by the citizens, hence the need for such claims to be recorded.
“Security operatives, who often experience litigious scrutiny over their conduct in the discharge of their duties, ought to wear body cameras in order to have picture and video evidence of their activities.

“The body cameras will keep the security operatives in check, considering the massive allegations of human rights violation by security operatives and lack of evidence to indict them.

“The introduction of body cameras will not only douse tension and promote trust and professionalism among the security agencies but will institutionalise the rules of engagement to foster a harmonious relationship between security operatives and the citizenry.”

The motion was adopted when it was put to a voice vote by Idris Wase, deputy speaker of the house.

Subsequently, the house mandated the committees on police affairs, army and national security and intelligence to ensure compliance.
