The Kwara State government is set to amend the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
According to Daily Trust, this wasn’t disclosed by the Kwara State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Senior Ibrahim Sulyman.
He stated this while speaking with during a special prayer organised for him and the Special Adviser on Social Intervention and Humanitarian Affairs to Senator Soliu Mustapha, Mohammad Abdulkadir.
According to him, “Whenever you are charged to court, the court should discharge you if you are not found wanting, not we terminating it from our end.
“We are going to make it stiffer for those involved in criminal activities. Every other thing I won’t like to go into details but some of our laws will be amended with the help of the state assembly.
“For instance, the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) we have in Kwara State as of today is already calling for amendment. Some of the provisions/sections have gone to the apex court with already superior pronouncements and we are already looking at that so that there will be respect for the institution”, he added.
