Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has demanded that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), should release a certified true copy of the electronic database of records of arrests made by all law enforcement agencies. He also wrote to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, requesting the CJN to ensure proper monitoring of criminal cases in Nigeria under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

Last week, Falana wrote to the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Jutice Opeyemi Oke, asking her to designate Chief Magistrates to conduct a monthly inspection of all police stations and other detention centres in Lagos State as stipulated by the ACJA.

The senior advocate, in his letter, dated December 19, 2017, and addressed to the AGF, stated that his request was based on the provisions of Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act. He also noted that the AGF was required to supply the requested information within seven days as stipulated by the FoI Act.
