Lagos moves against frivolous charges by police

The Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo , says the state is introducing a filtering mechanism to check the police from filing charges that do not meet the

The attorney general said this in a communiqué issued by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice following the report of an advisory committee set up to look into the propriety of having policemen, who are not lawyers, prosecuting criminal cases at the magistrates’ courts. He said rather than stop the police prosecutors, the state would train them and also put a filter mechanism in place to ensure that only meritorious cases get to court.
