“Suspects Need Not Be Handcuffed or Restrained By Police In Nigeria”

A suspect of a crime is deemed innocence and should not be handcuffed, bound or restrained by police. Suspect can only be handcuffed where there is violence or attempt to escape or it is necessary for safety of suspect or a court ordered a suspect to be handcuffed.

My authority is section 5 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.

Please share this till it gets to those that need it most. Save a Nigerian today!
