Abstract

The importance of the judiciary, as an important arm of government cannot be over-stated, as provided for in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (As amended). The paper has examined the role of the Nigerian judiciary in adherence to the rule of law in providing a safer nation. Making recourse to several judicial sources, it has reviewed the prosecutorial process such as filing of process, first appearance, arraignment, issuing of arrest warrants, judge’s visit to locus in quo and sentencing, among others. The paper concludes that the place of the judiciary is important in the administration of criminal justice and recommends measures that could further strengthen it. These include adequate funding, granting autonomy to the bench and the need for all actors to play their role properly in the administration of criminal justice in Nigeria.
