Endsars: UK Still Collecting Evidence On Police Brutality During Endsars Protest
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, says it does not “publicly speculate on future sanctions designations”.
The Petition on the UK government and parliament website had accused the government and the police of violating the rights of agitators demonstrating against police brutality.
It urged for the UK to implement sanctions that allow “individuals and entities that violate human rights around the world to be targeted,” saying such would “provide accountability for and be a deterrent to anyone involved in violations of human rights”.
In its response on Wednesday, the UK said while it was concerned by violence during the protests, it awaits the outcome of Nigerian investigations into reports of police brutality.
It, however, added: “The UK Government will keep all evidence and potential listings under close review.”
