We Need To Save Nigeria From Criminal Justice Sector By Monday O. Ubani | Sahara Reporters

With the Blind Lady sign herein, I am sure friends will expect me to talk about the earth-quaking judgment of Justice Okon Abang sending Olisa Metuh, former PDP stalwart, to prison for seven years for sundry offences during the reign of former President GEJ. The topic for that discussion is reserved to a later date.

The beginning of such sad incident at the magistracy usually starts with the police prosecutor telling the court that the witnesses, especially the Investigating Police Officers are not in court and all his attempts to bring them to court have proved abortive. The next you will hear is that he is seeking the indulgence of the court for an adjournment.

In these instances just narrated above, several criminals have ran away from justice and of course very soon they are back to the court for another crime as there are no deterrent punishment for the previous ones committed. It can be frustrating for the prosecution no doubt. Several times I pity them when they announce those names of witnesses who are supposed to be in court and none responds. I am not happy telling the court that again the prosecution has failed to produce his or her witnesses and the court should strike out and decongest its docket for want of diligent prosecution.
