The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Baba, has emphasized the inclination of his administration to uphold the sanctity of the Criminal Justice System and rule of law which is vital to professionalism and citizen-based policing.
IGP Baba stated this when he and members of the Force Management Team, paid a courtesy visit to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Tanko, in his office at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Abuja.
The visit 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, was an opportunity for the IGP to equally seek the collaboration of the CJN in accrediting 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 emphasized that establishment of the law school will avail the Police the opportunity to have more lawyers within its pool to strengthen its prosecutorial duties and hopefully produce more Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SAN, in the future.
The CJN appreciated the visit which was the first of its kind by a sitting IGP.
He equally commended the IGP for his thoughtfulness and expressed readiness to continually partner the Nigeria Police Force for seamless justice administration.
