    http://www.pambazuka.org/images/broadcasts/damienugwu.jpgDamien Ugwu from the Nigerian Civil Liberties Organisation speaks to Sokari Ekine from Pambazuka News about endemic police torture in the Nigerian justice system.

    CLO estimates that five people a day are being unlawfully killed by the police. Most vulnerable are unemployed youths accused of armed robbery. Damien Ugwu explores the reasons why torture and murder are common place and the cultural and political roots of the problem.
