The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, LATEEF FAGBEMI has advocated for enhanced collaboration among all stakeholders in criminal justice administration as a measure against the rising crime rate in the country.

FAGBEMI said this at a one-day stakeholders’ engagement summit on the effective implementation of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act in Abuja.

He said there need for synergy and commitment among players in the sector to effectively implement existing laws to fight all forms of crimes plaguing the country.

The AGF argued that it was not enough to have laws, but that it is only the effective implementation of such that will result in the desired outcome for the society.

The chairman of the Senate Committee of Judiciary and Human Rights, Senator TAHIR MOGUNU said the National Assembly would work with the Judiciary by promptly effecting a needed amendment to existing laws to ensure the effectiveness of the criminal justice system.
