Mahmud Mohammed, The Chief Justice of Nigeria
Is Nigeria ready for live broadcasts of court proceedings? Some of the view that she is more than ready. The Citizens’ Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights (CASER) has called on the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) to allow live radio and television broadcasts of court proceedings in the country. The Executive Director, Frank Tietie, signed and forwarded the letter dated 26th February to the Chief Justice, a copy of which was made was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on yesterday in Abuja.
CASER said the call became necessary in view of rising public consciousness of “the role of the courts in ensuring justice, public order and the future stability of Nigeria.’’ Furthermore, it is necessary considering the backdrop of the ongoing anti-corruption campaign being championed by President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
It argued that by the provisions of the amended Constitution, live broadcasts of court proceedings especially those bordering on corruption, electoral fraud and terrorism should be the norm and general rule. CASER said, “It has become pertinent at this stage of our national life to raise the standard of justice delivery and its impact on the social development of the nation. “To this end, we most humbly urge Your Lordship to allow live broadcasts of court proceedings to the citizenry. It noted that granting majority of the citizenry wider access to court proceedings through live broadcasts would enhance the social engineering function of the law “in a developing society as ours’’.
