“An Ordinary Person Can Arrest A Criminal Suspect Even Without A Warrant In Nigeria”.
Just like Police Officers, an ordinary person can arrest any person reasonably suspected of having committed a felony(a crime punishable with 3 years imprisonment or more).
In such circumstances, you don’t need a police officer to arrest such a suspect and if in arresting such a person, you threaten or assault such person, you will not be liable. After an arrest, you are to handover such person to a police officer or nears police station.
My authorities are section 12 of Criminal Procedure Act, section 28(d) of Criminal Procedure Code and the Supreme Court Judgment in the case of Nweke V. The State (1965) 1 ALL NLR 114.
