There Will Be No Escape Route For Criminals In Nigeria- AGF Fagbemi Says


The Federal Government, through the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, has revealed what will bring an end to the escape of inter-state criminals in the country.

Fagbemi said this will be made possible through the full domestication of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) by the states of the Federation

He said this on Tuesday in Abuja at a 3-Day Technical National Working Group Session Review and Validation of the National Minimum Standard Document for the implementation of ACJA, 2015.

According to him, with the adoption of the Act by states offenders can no longer move from state to state to escape justice, a term commonly known as Forum Shopping.

He advocated the need for the embrace of using technology in the day-to-day administration of justice to effectively curb acts of criminalities.

The justice minister said the use of technology in processes, systems, and procedures for the advancement of the administration of criminal justice cannot be overemphasized.

The federal government, he noted, enacted the Administration of Criminal Justice Act in 2015 with a view to ensuring harmonious implementation of criminal justice reforms across the federation.
