AGF bars police from parading suspects

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has banned the Nigeria Police Force from parading suspects

A parade is a public display of a person suspected to have committed a crime.

Senior police officers contacted in the Federal Capital Territory and Lagos State Police Command told our correspondent that they were informed of the development.

One of them told Punch correspondent, “I am aware of it. I think the directive was given by the AGF earlier this month or thereabouts and the information was passed down to us. You would have noticed some level of compliance. “

Another top police officer in the FCT said, “ Yes, we have been asked to stop parading suspects.”

When contacted, the Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the police would issue a statement on the ban at the appropriate time.

“The police will react officially on the matter when it is time. We will make an official statement soon,” Adejobi said.
