“Can An Arrested Person Be Medically Examined Without Consent”

“CAN AN ARRESTED PERSON BE MEDICAL EXAMINED WITHOUT CONSENT” Police or any other government owned security agency has right to arrest any person and medically examine such person without consent of the arrested person for needed evidence. The police can even use reasonable force where necessary in conducting such medical examination. Note that the medical examination must be conducted by a qualified medical practitioner or professional with needed skills. My authorities are sections 11, 494 and 495 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and other similar laws across States in Nigeria. #CriminalJusticeMonday #DailyLawTips #SabiLaw #LearnNigerianLaws Feel free to reach the author, ask questions or make inquiries on this topic or any other via info@LearnNigerianLaws.com or onyekachi.umah@gmail.com or +2348037665878.
