By -
(Nigeria) The Inspector- General of Police, IG,  Mr Mohammed Abubakar, on Wednesday said the police had introduced human rights curriculum in most of its institutions.
Abubakar told newsmen in Abuja that the police would not relent in promoting human rights issues in the country.
He also said there was code of conduct for constables up to Inspector-General to know their limit.
Abubakar said the code of conduct would guide the officers on what is expected of them and what they cannot do.
According to the IGP, ``the draft report of the code of conduct would be produced on Dec. 16. The move is to show the commitment of the force.
``This is also to show Nigerians that we are committed and that this management is serious about the issue. We have resolved that every person’s right is respected by officers and men of the force.”
On the ban on gathering at airports, the IGP said such gatherings should be done elsewhere and not at the airports.
Abubakar said security was important at both local and international airports where passengers wait to board aircrafts.
``You cannot allow this to happen; you have the right to assemble, but not at the airports.’’
The Swiss Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Hans-Rudolf Hodel, said the embassy would collaborate with the police to present a joint manual on human rights for the force.
He said the manual would enable all police officers to be better informed on their rights and obligations.
