NGO: App Launched Against Police Brutality

CANS Foundations (CWCDAfrica), a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has launched a digital intervention platform to tackle police brutality across the country.

 

During the launch of the technology in Abuja, the CANS Foundations (CWCDAfrica), in partnership with the Open Society of West Africa (OSIWA), said the platform that works both offline and online through mobile phone will alert designated places and people that will promptly provide victims with needed help.

 

The Co-founder of the CANS Foundation, Olajide Abiose stated that the platform was an idea birthed after the #ENDSARS protest and the alleged brutal massacre of some youths by the security operatives at Lekki Tollgate in Lagos, and the government’s desperate moves to constantly suppress all evidence.

 

The Programmes Lead of CANS Foundation, Anthony Eromosele said the platform will provide quick intervention for victims of police brutality.

 

Eromosele added that “the platform will enable people whose rights are infringed on to gain intervention from family members, on social media or from organisations that fight against abuse of human rights.”
