Daily Law Tips (Tip 796) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LL.M,

Introduction:
Nigeria is the most populated black nation in the world. It is home
to the richest black man (Aliko Dangote) and more than 82 Million
Nigerians that live on less than a dollar. There is a huge gap
between the poor and the rich in Nigeria. This imbalance is worse
in the employment sector, where the employers (often the rich)
enslave the employees/workers (often the poor). Many workers,
especially the workers in the private sector, are often maltreated,
flogged, surcharged, defamed, stripped naked or tortured. Even
police officers and other government staff that are assigned to
government officials, get tortured by their principals, who often
force them to play domestic roles.

Flogging and stripping a worker are torture and a violation of
human rights as well as a criminal offence. There is no
justification for torture by an employer, and not even a law
enforcement agent is permitted to torture any person. With very low
literacy level (62.2% in 2018) and unimaginably poor legal literacy
level, victims of torture, prefer to be silent or are too scared to
report their perpetrators or are ignorant of their rights. By the
way, with weak institutions, the rich Nigerians are never arrested,
investigated or prosecuted, even where there are overwhelming
evidence. Hence, there is a surge in the torture of workers in the
private sector by their employers.

Employment and Torture:
Employment is regulated in Nigeria by a federal law (the Labour
Act). This means that no state government, local government,
international employer or local employer can setup employment terms
and policies that conflict with the federal employment law. The
Labour Act regulates employment from how to write employment letter
to the duration of maternity leave. Some of the provision of the
Labour Act, are; workers are not to be forced to patronise a
particular supermarket/business/school; workers’ wages/salaries are
not to be fined, deducted or surcharged apart from deductions
allowed by law; workers are not to be paid in kind but in cash and
workers are entitled to a 12-day sick leave with pay, in any one
calendar year (January to December).

Employment is not a reformatory session, where workers are to be
subjected to reformatory punishments. A worker is not a student or
a prisoner. A worker is a human being with all fundamental human
rights that are equal to that of his employer and that must be
respected by all persons and processes. A worker offers his
resources for a fee and not his life and human rights. Above all,
no employer should tamper with the fundamental human rights of a
worker, no matter the position, age, race, colour, religion, height
or class of the worker.

Torture is when pain or suffering, whether physical or mentally
is knowingly inflicted on any person to obtain information, punish,
intimidate or force such person or any other person by or at the
orders of a public official or any person acting on official
capacity without lawful sanction/authority. Torture can be
physical, mental or even both.

Torture includes; beatings, food deprivation, rubbing of
pepper/chemicals, assuming of stressful bodily positions, rape,
exposure to cold/sunlight, use of drugs, blindfolding, threat,
prolonged interrogation, unscheduled transfer of persons, secret
detention, denial of sleep, shaming, stripping naked and parading
in public places. Torture is a violation of fundamental human
rights. Depending on the nature of the torture, it could affect one
or several human rights. The violation of human rights or attempt
to violate or the fear of such violation, are violation of human
rights and the courts will not hesitate to punish the
offenders.

Torture aside being a violation of human rights, is also a
violation of criminal law. All forms of torture are offences under
the criminal laws in the states across Nigeria. Also, the federal
legislature (the National Assembly) has gone on to enact a federal
law on torture (Anti-Torture Act) which prohibits and criminalise
all forms of torture. So, where there is a torture, the offender
can also be prosecuted under a criminal law, aside a prosecution
under the fundamental human rights.

Aside prosecuting an employer for torture, under criminal law or
the fundamental human rights, there is a third option. An employer
can also be sued in a civil court for tort. This could be for the
actions of the employer that led to; assault, battery, defamation,
economic loss, trespass, emotional stress, invasion of privacy,
false imprisonment, employment discrimination, unlawful demotion,
wrongful failure to promote and wrongful termination.

Pursing a case against an employer under civil or criminal or
both of them, have varying benefits. The good news is that they all
can run concurrently. A case under the criminal law focuses on the
imprisonment of employer, payment of fine to government and in rare
cases payment of compensation to the victim. Under the civil court,
a fundamental human rights case can order an employer to write an
apology and pay huge compensations running into millions of Naira
for violation of human rights. Also, in the civil court, a case of
tort, can make an employer to even pay more compensations, running
into mega millions of Naira. A good lawyer will assist victims in
proper legal diagnosis and in making the right choice in accessing
justice.

Conclusion:
Under any form of employment, where there is torture, the victim or
the well-wishers of the victim have a right to report the employer
to the Nigeria Police Force. Aside reporting to the police (and as
is often the case, while the police delays) the same case can be
taken to a civil court for enforcement of human rights and to seek
damages under tort. The failure of police to prosecute a criminal
case or the success of police, does not affect or stop a victim of
torture or his well-wishers from seeking justice in a civil
court.

A victim that cannot engaged the services of a legal
practitioner, should rush to the nearest office of the National
Human Rights Commission (NHRC) for free legal services. Here is a
link to the offices of the National Human Rights Commission;
<https://learnnigerianlaws.com/details-of-state-offices-of-national-human-rights-commission/>.
Also, there are several non-governmental and not-for-profit
organisations that could offer free legal services; search the
internet and speak with your lawyer for such contacts.

An employer that tortures a worker or attempts to torture or
threatens to torture a worker should be ready for criminal and
civil prosecutions. Litigations can run down businesses, nothing
slumps wealth like litigation and sickness. Employers must be
trained to control their emotions and be law-abiding at all
times.

Daily Law Tips (Tip 796) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LL.M,
ACIArb(UK)

Introduction:
Nigeria is the most populated black nation in the world. It is home
to the richest black man (Aliko Dangote) and more than 82 Million
Nigerians that live on less than a dollar. There is a huge gap
between the poor and the rich in Nigeria. This imbalance is worse
in the employment sector, where the employers (often the rich)
enslave the employees/workers (often the poor). Many workers,
especially the workers in the private sector, are often maltreated,
flogged, surcharged, defamed, stripped naked or tortured. Even
police officers and other government staff that are assigned to
government officials, get tortured by their principals, who often
force them to play domestic roles.

Flogging and stripping a worker are torture and a violation of
human rights as well as a criminal offence. There is no
justification for torture by an employer, and not even a law
enforcement agent is permitted to torture any person. With very low
literacy level (62.2% in 2018) and unimaginably poor legal literacy
level, victims of torture, prefer to be silent or are too scared to
report their perpetrators or are ignorant of their rights. By the
way, with weak institutions, the rich Nigerians are never arrested,
investigated or prosecuted, even where there are overwhelming
evidence. Hence, there is a surge in the torture of workers in the
private sector by their employers.

Employment and Torture:
Employment is regulated in Nigeria by a federal law (the Labour
Act). This means that no state government, local government,
international employer or local employer can setup employment terms
and policies that conflict with the federal employment law. The
Labour Act regulates employment from how to write employment letter
to the duration of maternity leave. Some of the provision of the
Labour Act, are; workers are not to be forced to patronise a
particular supermarket/business/school; workers’ wages/salaries are
not to be fined, deducted or surcharged apart from deductions
allowed by law; workers are not to be paid in kind but in cash and
workers are entitled to a 12-day sick leave with pay, in any one
calendar year (January to December).

Employment is not a reformatory session, where workers are to be
subjected to reformatory punishments. A worker is not a student or
a prisoner. A worker is a human being with all fundamental human
rights that are equal to that of his employer and that must be
respected by all persons and processes. A worker offers his
resources for a fee and not his life and human rights. Above all,
no employer should tamper with the fundamental human rights of a
worker, no matter the position, age, race, colour, religion, height
or class of the worker.

Torture is when pain or suffering, whether physical or mentally
is knowingly inflicted on any person to obtain information, punish,
intimidate or force such person or any other person by or at the
orders of a public official or any person acting on official
capacity without lawful sanction/authority. Torture can be
physical, mental or even both.

Torture includes; beatings, food deprivation, rubbing of
pepper/chemicals, assuming of stressful bodily positions, rape,
exposure to cold/sunlight, use of drugs, blindfolding, threat,
prolonged interrogation, unscheduled transfer of persons, secret
detention, denial of sleep, shaming, stripping naked and parading
in public places. Torture is a violation of fundamental human
rights. Depending on the nature of the torture, it could affect one
or several human rights. The violation of human rights or attempt
to violate or the fear of such violation, are violation of human
rights and the courts will not hesitate to punish the
offenders.

Torture aside being a violation of human rights, is also a
violation of criminal law. All forms of torture are offences under
the criminal laws in the states across Nigeria. Also, the federal
legislature (the National Assembly) has gone on to enact a federal
law on torture (Anti-Torture Act) which prohibits and criminalise
all forms of torture. So, where there is a torture, the offender
can also be prosecuted under a criminal law, aside a prosecution
under the fundamental human rights.

Aside prosecuting an employer for torture, under criminal law or
the fundamental human rights, there is a third option. An employer
can also be sued in a civil court for tort. This could be for the
actions of the employer that led to; assault, battery, defamation,
economic loss, trespass, emotional stress, invasion of privacy,
false imprisonment, employment discrimination, unlawful demotion,
wrongful failure to promote and wrongful termination.

Pursing a case against an employer under civil or criminal or
both of them, have varying benefits. The good news is that they all
can run concurrently. A case under the criminal law focuses on the
imprisonment of employer, payment of fine to government and in rare
cases payment of compensation to the victim. Under the civil court,
a fundamental human rights case can order an employer to write an
apology and pay huge compensations running into millions of Naira
for violation of human rights. Also, in the civil court, a case of
tort, can make an employer to even pay more compensations, running
into mega millions of Naira. A good lawyer will assist victims in
proper legal diagnosis and in making the right choice in accessing
justice.

Conclusion:
Under any form of employment, where there is torture, the victim or
the well-wishers of the victim have a right to report the employer
to the Nigeria Police Force. Aside reporting to the police (and as
is often the case, while the police delays) the same case can be
taken to a civil court for enforcement of human rights and to seek
damages under tort. The failure of police to prosecute a criminal
case or the success of police, does not affect or stop a victim of
torture or his well-wishers from seeking justice in a civil
court.

A victim that cannot engaged the services of a legal
practitioner, should rush to the nearest office of the National
Human Rights Commission (NHRC) for free legal services. Here is a
link to the offices of the National Human Rights Commission;
<https://learnnigerianlaws.com/details-of-state-offices-of-national-human-rights-commission/>.
Also, there are several non-governmental and not-for-profit
organisations that could offer free legal services; search the
internet and speak with your lawyer for such contacts.

An employer that tortures a worker or attempts to torture or
threatens to torture a worker should be ready for criminal and
civil prosecutions. Litigations can run down businesses, nothing
slumps wealth like litigation and sickness. Employers must be
trained to control their emotions and be law-abiding at all
times.
