The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc(+), NPM, fdc, and members of the Force Management Team paid a courtesy visit to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, CFR, in his office at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Abuja, to solidify the synergy between the Police and the Judiciary as key players in the Criminal Justice System of the nation.

According to Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday, the IGP also sought the collaboration of the CJN in accrediting the legal department of the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, to enable its graduates to proceed for further studies at the Nigerian Law School.

It will ensure the Police have more lawyers within its pool to strengthen its prosecutorial duties and hopefully produce more Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) in the future, the IGP stressed.

The IGP also emphasized the inclination of his administration to uphold the sanctity of the Criminal Justice System and rule of law which is vital to professionalism and citizen-based policing.

Meanwhile, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad commended the IGP for his thoughtfulness and expressed readiness to continually partner with the Nigeria Police Force for seamless justice administration.
