 APPEAL COURT GIVES NIGERIA POLICE, ARMY VICTORIES  


Efforts by the Nigeria Police Force to prosecute a man accused of alleged attempted homicide and machete attack on a victim in faraway Malaysia,

has been boosted by the Court of Appeal Abuja Division, as the court ordered that the High Court of the FCT should compel the man's arrest and prosecution. 


Prince Okoro Nkemakolam had  approached the appelate court, claiming that the police allegation of attempted homicide filed against him was not sustainable. 


The judgement by the three man panel led by Justice Okon Abang is in line with Section 221 & 396 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015. 


Similarly, the Appeal Court has ruled that the Federal High Court did not give the Nigerian Army fair hearing, when it entertained a fundamental human rights suit filed against the army by an aggrieved individual, Abdeen Abubakar. 


Abdeen Abubakar had alleged that they tortured him while in their custody, but the appellate court observed that the trial court that heard the case did not allow the army to ventilate its views properly. 


In a unanimous judgment, the court upheld the army's appeal, annulled the trial court's proceedings, and ordered the Chief Judge, Federal High Court to reassign it to another judge for fresh adjudication.
