The FlagIt App
The application was developed and launched on (29, Aug, 2019). The FlagIt app has a technology platform for reporting and flagging corruption and misconduct by public officials. The major aim of this innovative platform is to ensure that the 'bad eggs' in any of the law enforcement agencies in Nigeria are not sheltered by the system, while they carry out nefarious acts of extorting citizens financially, under the guise of doing their duties.

Issues like police brutality, forceful shakedowns, illegal detention, and similar dysfunctional activities constitute ‘flag-able’ offenses that are captured and reported through the app. In addition, the capability of the app is being expanded as a tracking tool to monitor other processes, including elections, etc. FLAGIT APP FlagIt App
