Globaltimes Nigeria’s Justice System Weak, Sick, Needs Help – IGP
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has said the criminal justice system in Nigeria is weak, sick and needs a complete overhaul.
He however urged Nigerians to stop blaming the police.
. The IGP explained that like a sick person who seeks medical help from a doctor, the nation’s criminal justice system also needs to be revived.
Speaking at the 2024 Annual Lecture/Award Ceremony, organised by the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN), Egbetokun said: “Police is not the only pillar or stakeholder in the criminal justice system in this country. We have challenges, we accept, but we will try our best to make sure we have a better system
“All of us must come together to help perfect criminal justice or justice system administration in Nigeria. If this system is working well; it is going to affect you, it is going to us.”
