IGP calls for synergy with judiciary to improve justice system

By Isaac Kertyo

The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has called for more synergy between the Nigeria Police Force and the Judiciary arm of government.

According to him, this would allow the efficient dispensation of justice in the country.

Baba disclosed this during a visit to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Abuja.

These were contained in a statement by the acting Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Wednesday.

The statement was titled, ‘Administration of justice: IGP pays historic visit to Chief Justice of Nigeria’.

It read, “The visit was aimed at solidifying the synergy between the Police and the Judiciary as key players in the Criminal Justice System of the nation with a view to ensuring a smooth and efficient dispensation of justice.

“The Inspector-General of Police emphasized the inclination of his administration to upholding the sanctity of the Criminal Justice System and rule of law which is vital to professionalism and citizen-based policing.”

The IGP also sought the collaboration of the CJN to accredit the legal department of the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State to enable its graduates to proceed for further studies at the Nigerian Law School.

He said this would ensure the Police have more lawyers within its pool to strengthen its prosecutorial duties and hopefully produce more Senior Advocates of Nigeria in the future.

The CJN was quoted to have commended the IGP for his thoughtfulness, expressing his readiness to continually partner with the Nigeria Police Force for seamless justice administration.
