Welcome to Know Your Rights Nigeria.
We have simplified your rights in a way that you can access them at any time where necessary with just a push of button in your palms. Many of us fear any form of contact with law enforcement agents. This is largely borne out of ignorance of our rights under the law and in which many people had been exploited. This app will keep you fully abreast of the whole gamut or corpus of rights available to you under the law in force in Nigeria, equip you with the information needed to stand, in order to defend yourself against any infraction.

Click on any of the list of rights listed below, it will display many areas of interest which may apply to your situation or that of anyone around you.
We also have an engagement forum where you can ask our lawyers any question on human right issues that arise in your daily live activities. It is a probono {free} service from our Legal Team.
Note: the Legal Team can only respond to fundamental human rights issues. We don’t respond to business/profit making legal issues such as Contracts, Banking, Shipping or other commercial/corporate law issues as you may need to contact your lawyer.
We also have a link where you can report human rights abuse to the Government institutions in Nigeria most especially the National Human Rights Commission, Nigerian Police Force, Nigerian Communication Commission etc. We trust they will take up your matters within the scope of their powers.
Despite the fundamental human rights’ knowledge you may acquire through #KnowYourRightsNigeria app and the empowerment thereafter, we strongly advice that you are always guided by your lawyer. Do not assume that you are fully on top of human rights’ issues after perusing the content of this app.
