Timothy Adegoke, has kicked against the Nigeria Police’s move to try the accused persons in Abuja.
Upon the conclusion of the investigation, the police sued the accused persons before a High Court in Abuja. Mr Adegoke’s family is, however, opposing the location where the police decided to try Mr Adedoyin and others. “It must be stated here that the family never doubted the competence of the Police to prosecute this case to a logical conclusion. But as the solicitors to the family, we have our reservation to the prosecution of this case at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.
The lawyer noted that the Administration of Criminal Justice Act guides the prosecution of crimes at the Federal High Court in Nigeria and other offences punishable in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and it also provides the framework for criminal litigation in those courts where it is applicable.
