Nigeria’s justice system weak, sick, needs help – IGP

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, on Thursday, said the criminal justice system in Nigeria is weak, sick and needs a complete overhaul.

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.

He however urged Nigerians to stop blaming the police.

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.”

The IGP was represented at the event by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP, Muyiwa Adejobi.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Dr Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, opined that corruption remains one of the most persistent challenges affecting all sectors and institutions of the Nigerian society, undermining policy-decision making.

Aliyu said: “Corruption remains one of the most persistent challenges affecting all sectors and institutions of the Nigerian society, undermines policy-decision making, resource mobilisation and utilisation, policy execution and service delivery.

“Our experience at the ICPC in partnership with key stakeholders, has shown that tackling corruption effectively, across sectors and institutions, requires a proactive, multi-faceted approach. This approach should focus not only on enforcement but also on prevention, deterrence, and systems reform.”

According to Aliyu, the Justice System Administration faces institutional, funding, infrastructural, human resources, and socio-cultural challenges.

He added: “The widespread corruption within the justice system, including bribery, influence peddling and attitudinal challenges are more fundamental and daunting. I dare say that the justice sector remains a focal point of concern, particularly regarding bribery involving stakeholders in the justice sector, and despite limited public contact, judicial officials exhibit relatively high bribery prevalence, hence the need for targeted anti-corruption measures in this sector.”

IG has spoken the truth today. The judiciary has always been poor in Nigeria but you see APC made sure any little integrity that was left in the judiciary is gone, even under military rule the judiciary didn't dish out the kind of kangaroo judgments the courts gave under APC... 4th became the winner, conflicting judgements on same cases, hounding of judges perceived not to be loyal, appointment of questionable characters willing to compromise into sensitive judicial posts etc.

True but the IGP is trying to be clever by half. The police are the major culprits circumventing the law!. As much as the laws need an overhaul, the police is a major contributing factor due to their corrupt tendencies. Everyday is littered with news of police extortions, harassments and threats on the lives of Nigerians by the same people employed to keep them safe.

IGP is trying to be economical with the truth. The justice system is not only weak and sick but critically CORRUPT.

Dele was 101% right.

Not only our justice system. But u can imagine how other systems are if our justice system is weak.

That's means it is prone to corruption. it also lacks fundamental independence to function.

What is justice. Nothing like justice and truth.

Truth and Justice are what men say they are. And it's that simple.

Doubt me? Go read more in the psychology of the truth and of human behaviour. You won't need more explanation.

This is coming from ur daddy IGP about the judicial system that U all claim to be the best since sliced bread!
Infact both the police and judicial system are in need of a total overhaul as those systems are now populated with charlatans!

They should also arrest the IGP for saying the truth.

This was what Farotimi said with facts and evidences,but your boys abducted him from Lagos to Ekiti because someone who has practiced law for over 60years ass was bursted.
