The dissertation examines the effectiveness of the Independent Investigative Panel (IIP) 2020 in addressing police brutality in Nigeria. The study delves into the historical context of police misconduct in the country, tracing its roots to the colonial era. It explores the legal and institutional framework for investigative panels. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the establishment, composition, and mandate of the IIP, as well as its operational framework. It critically evaluates the extent to which the IIP has been able to investigate cases of police brutality, provide justice for victims, and recommend reforms within the Nigerian police force. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating qualitative to assess the impact and limitations of the IIP. Through document analysis, participant observation and case studies. Furthermore, it investigates the challenges faced by the IIP in carrying out its functions and analyses the institutional and systemic factors that may hinder its effectiveness and the extent to which its recommendations have been implemented. The findings of this research contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of independent investigative mechanisms in addressing police brutality and human rights violations in Nigeria. The study aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers, human rights advocates, and law enforcement agencies to enhance the effectiveness of independent investigative mechanisms in addressing police brutality. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for improving the design and implementation of Independent Investigative Panels, contributing to the broader efforts to combat police misconduct in Nigeria.
