Diminished Responsibility And Criminal Law-a Question To Nigerian Lawyers

« on: July 03, 2009, 10:08 AM »

@Lawyers on this forum

I wonder if you will be kind enough to answer my queries.

I am curious about the fate of offenders in Nigeria who have diminished capacity due to age or mental impairment. Specifically, i am interested in:
1. whether the plea of diminished responsibility is common in the Nigerian legal system and
2. the prospects for medico-legal work/Consultancy in Nigeria

Thanks

I have been reliably informed off-line that there isn't much going on with regards to diminished responsibility and crime in Nigeria, but i couldn't have guessed that it's this silent! Anyways the feedback (or in this case, lack of it) has actually been quite revealing.
