Nigerians are impatient with delayed criminal trials – Hon
These calls have been resonating for a very long time now, but I think gradually, things have started taking shape. We have had strict timelines in the determination of election petitions, leading to expeditious determination of such matters. We also have the Criminal Justice and Administration Act, which has also had great impact on the length of time of criminal trials. I will, however, quickly add that the major players in the system - the lawyers, the judges and the litigants must be ready to accept that this is a new dawn in Nigeria, where dilatory tactics are no more condoned by Nigerians. I have been watching the trend on social media, and I can confirm that most Nigerians are impatient with delayed criminal trials.
