The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, in Adamawa has urged security agencies to respect human rights while discharging their duties for peaceful coexistence in the state and the country at large.
The NHRC Adamawa Coordinator, Grace Mamza, said this during an interview with newsmen in Yola on Thursday.
She stressed that it is good to treat people with dignity and respect, and advised parents to take good care of their wards.
According to her, the commission recorded 21 cases of rights violations in the state between January and February, with parental neglect high due to hardship.
She said during the period under review, the commission recorded 11 cases of parental neglect, among other violations.
She listed other violations to include physical assault, right to dignity, threat to life, and child trafficking.
The NHRC coordinator advised husbands to allow their wives to venture into business, noting, however, that wives should not depend solely on their husbands as she urged them to complement the efforts of their spouses.
“Men should allow their wives to do business to improve on the socioeconomic development of the family,” she advised.
Mamza further called on the public to report any right violations to the commission for full justice to prevail.
