 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

RE: STRIP POLICE OF POWER TO PROSECUTE CRIMINAL CASES,JUDGE ADVICES NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.#PRESS STATEMENT.

Image may contain: 1 person                     The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to an online/social media publication by Premium Times Nigeria captioned ''Strip Police of Power to Prosecute Criminal Cases,Judge Advices Nigerian Government''.The said publication was credited to the Chief Judge of Delta State,Hon. Justice Marshall Unukoto,in a lecture he delivered at the 2017 Aquinas Day Colloquium of Dominican Institute in Ibadan Oyo State on Tuesday 31st January,2017.
2. The call according to the publication was made by the the Judge when he commented on the inefficient handling of criminal cases by the Police prosecutors who are not lawyers.
3. It is pertinent however,to state that the call was made by the Hon. Chief Judge without recourse to section 106 of the Administration of criminal Justice Act {ACJA} 2015,which clearly excludes non lawyers from processing all offences in any Court of Law.
4. Furthermore,the Supreme Court in the case of FRN VS Osahon {2006} 5NWLR part 973 pg 361 stated clearly the position of the law with respect to Police powers of prosecution.
5. It should be noted that the Nigeria Police Force as an organization has the highest number of lawyers in its establishment who are currently undertaking prosecution as provided in the ACJ ACT 2015.
6. It is therefore,a legal misconception for anybody to call for the stripping off of the Power to prosecute.
