Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has advised law enforcement agents to prioritize non-violent methods and use proportional force only as a last resort. He spoke at the International Human Rights Day, emphasizing that force must not be vindictive or applied against non-resisting individuals, citing constitutional and international human rights protections.
Sani noted that widespread human dignity violations often involve law enforcement, stressing the need to balance rights protection with appropriate force. He detailed Kaduna State’s ‘carrot and stick’ approach to insecurity, combining non-kinetic and kinetic methods to ensure measured responses.
