Nigeria scraps notorious police unit amid abuse allegations

A viral video showing a pleading suspect shot by a plainclothes officer in Nigeria‘s Delta State — who later died in custody — has reignited outrage over police brutality in Nigeria.

While officers have been charged, activists say abuse is systemic. Amnesty International accuses the now‑disbanded Tiger Base unit of torture and disappearances; victims recount severe abuse and fear.

Despite reforms, critics say accountability remains elusive and trust in police is deeply eroded.
