Nowadays, many nations are promoting and seeking out the renowned form of government known as democracy. If it is indeed the case that democracy and human rights are incompatible in certain circumstances, it implies that the assurance of freedom, justice, and equality for all segments of society is ensured. Democracy serves as a mechanism to safeguard and uphold fundamental human rights, which are characterized by their virtuous nature, balanced approach, and appropriate level of moderation. Moreover, democracy ensures the comprehensive protection of human rights, encompassing various aspects such as the right to life, liberty, property, freedom of speech, and individual security. These rights have been explicitly outlined and guaranteed within constitutional frameworks. Regrettably, Nigeria has seen a significant prevalence of torture as a result of mismanagement of human rights. Government agencies, including the military and police, engage in acts of brutality by subjecting individuals to torture.
