A US inmate named Hamza donated $17 to support Gaza amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis following the October 7, 2023, Hamas-Israel conflict. He earned this money through 136 hours of jail cleaning work, paid at just 13 cents per hour. His act of kindness sparked a crowdfunding campaign that eventually raised over $100,000 for his release.

Hamza, serving a 40-year sentence for a 1986 accidental killing committed as a minor, exemplifies personal transformation and the potential for rehabilitation. His donation highlights issues surrounding prison labor wages, which are often very low, as data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows.

The successful fundraiser, with contributions from well-known figures like iShowSpeed donating $50,000, challenges negative stereotypes about prisoners. Studies suggest that programs focused on rehabilitation and altruism can significantly reduce recidivism, emphasizing the importance of societal reinvestment in prisoners' growth and change.

The Ezu River killings of 2013 remain a dark chapter in Nigeria's history. Over 30 young men were found executed and dumped into the river, sparking widespread suspicion about who was responsible. While some believed the victims were members of MASSOB, others pointed fingers at SARS and security forces.

Governor Peter Obi responded swiftly, ordering investigations and offering a reward for information. However, subsequent inquiries yielded little, and the case was largely forgotten. In recent years, some groups have tried to politicize the incident, blaming Obi and others for events he had no control over.

This incident highlights the broader issues of police brutality and extrajudicial killings in Nigeria. Instead of using tragedies like Ezu River as political tools, Nigerians should demand accountability from law enforcement agencies. The real shame lies in the systemic failures that allow such atrocities to happen without justice.

This article examines the ongoing challenge of police reform in Nigeria, focusing on the contradiction between well-meaning police leaders and the persistent impunity of rogue units like Imo State's Tiger Base. Despite efforts by officers like CP Aboki Danjuma to promote discipline and accountability, entrenched political interests continue to protect corrupt and violent units, undermining genuine reform.

The piece highlights cases like James Nwafor of Awkuzu SARS, illustrating how systemic corruption and political patronage sustain impunity, even after retirement. It emphasizes that such protection fosters unlawful acts—extortion, torture, and extrajudicial killings—eroding public trust and endangering citizens' safety.

The author argues that true reform requires dismantling the political-policemen web that shields these rogue units. Without addressing this root cause, efforts at police reform will remain superficial. The fight for justice and accountability must target the collusion that enables brutality and impunity, ensuring that honest officers can serve Nigerians effectively.
