Tinubu Urges Judiciary to Reform Prosecution Tactics

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu called on the Judiciary to investigate and rectify procedural loopholes that criminals exploit to evade justice. Speaking in Abuja at the annual Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and National Judicial Institute (NJI) Capacity Building Workshop for Judges and Justices, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, he emphasized the urgency of reforming prosecution strategies.

Tinubu highlighted that corruption affects all branches of government and is a threat to Nigeria's survival. He stated that the judiciary must not only adhere to legal rules but also uphold moral order and social equity.

The President praised the EFCC for organizing the workshop themed “Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Financial Crimes in a Digital Age,” stressing the need for the judiciary to adapt to the evolving landscape of financial crimes driven by technology. He warned that without a progressive and reform-minded judiciary, efforts to combat corruption would be ineffective.
