There is no gainsaying that the Nigerian procurement system has been thoroughly abused by the multinational companies and international businesses in Nigeria; opening up a lot of shortcomings in our judicial system and questioning the capacity of our government to enforce our laws particularly when foreign institutions are involved.

Our organisation (ADC LAW which was founded in Ghana) has shown its presence in Abuja since 2005.  Ours being a human rights/pro-democracy advocacy group has often come into clash with the Nigerian police.  We have published two articles or reports against the Zuba Police Division on two occasions when we felt that the rights of residents of Zuba and environs including visitors to Zuba, or those who were coming to Zuba motor Ppark to board vehicles to various destinations were being violated by the police because of indiscriminate raiding and arrests.
