News Investigators/ A legal practitioner and human rights advocate, Hamza D. Dantani, Esq., has called on security agencies across the country to emulate the Department of State Services (DSS) by compensating innocent Nigerians who are wrongly arrested, unlawfully detained or harmed during security operations. National security and respect for fundamental human rights are not opposing ideals; they are complementary principles that strengthen one another. The recent compensation initiative by the DSS is evidence that institutions can correct their errors without compromising their operational effectiveness. Security agencies should therefore strengthen their operational procedures by adopting the following measures:Ensure that arrests are based on credible intelligence, verified evidence, and thorough investigations rather than mere suspicion, rumours, anonymous allegations, or unreliable informants. Provide continuous human rights and constitutional law training for security personnel, particularly on the legal standards governing arrest, detention, and the treatment of suspects.
