The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, a Senior Advocate of nigeria (SAN), have reiterated their determination to the full implementation of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) among police personnel.

Malami, who was represented by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Abubakar Ibrahim Baba-Doko, said his office, as a leading stakeholder in the administration of justice, would continue “to support stakeholders to ensure that the reformation of the justice sector aligns with international best practices.”

“The Federal Ministry of Justice organised this workshop in order to facilitate the proper and effective implementation of the Act by the Nigerian police prosecutors, especially in the areas of ensuring that criminal matters are speedily dealt with so as to bring about a sustainable decongestion of correctional centres across the country,” he said.

Speaking through the commissioner of police in charge of Legal, Ochogwu Ogbeh; the IGP said the training was necessary to have a better nigeria Police Force that ensures the full implementation of the ACJA.

Earlier, the Solicitor-General of the Federation (SGF), Beatrice Jeddy-Agba, admonished the officers that the success of any criminal justice administration depends on the effective implementation by the agencies involved.

Coastal Highway Dispute: Obi Calls Out Umahi to Substantiate Allegations

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has addressed what he calls the “distortion of facts” surrounding his actions and statements during his tenure as governor of Anambra State, particularly concerning the ongoing demolitions for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar coastal super highway.

In a statement on Thursday via his X account, Obi stated, “I aim to address these issues directly, devoid of political rhetoric, to ensure clarity for all. Let me be unequivocal: during my governorship, I made it abundantly clear that all structures obstructing existing roads and lacking approval would be removed.”

Referring to a circulated Update, Obi clarified, “The circulated Update clearly stated this, and I only initiated removal when construction had already commenced. Any insinuation otherwise is a blatant misrepresentation of the truth.”

He challenged critics, saying, “I challenge anyone to verify and show me where the demolished structures on existing roads or ongoing businesses were not encroaching on the road and built without government approval while I served as governor.”

Obi cited the demolition of the Onitsha North local government headquarters situated on the only existing stadium.

“I decisively demolished the Onitsha North local government headquarters situated on the only existing stadium, relocated, and built a brand new structure for the local government office away from the stadium,” he explained.
