Mr Samson Nwachukwu is the current Director Intervention/Investigation of Behind Bars Human Rights Foundation. He has been with us for the past three years without salary. #VoluntaryService
After the #EndSARS protest, the State Governor His Excellency Governor Ifeanyi A. Okowa inaugurated the Judicial Panel of Inquiry. Same committee recommended a Human Rights Committee to be setup to receive complaints of rights violations.
18th October 2021, he was appointed by the Governor as Special Assistant , Special Duties to work at the Attorney General’s office as an Ombudsman.
