Disu made the call during a courtesy visit to the National Judicial Institute, where he was received by the Administrator of the Institute, Hon. Justice Babatunde Adeniran Adejumo, OFR, alongside the Institute Secretary, Mr. Olumo Abdulazeez, Esq., and members of the Institute’s management team.
During the visit, the IGP reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to the rule of law and the effective administration of criminal justice.
He proposed a structured collaboration with the NJI to provide continuous training for police lawyers, prosecutors, Investigating Police Officers and other personnel in key areas of criminal justice administration.
According to him, the proposed training should cover electronic evidence, cybercrime, digital forensics, human rights, prosecution advocacy, case management and other areas critical to modern policing and effective prosecution.
Disu also proposed the development of executive education and professional certification programmes for police personnel, as well as joint seminars, workshops and research initiatives to strengthen investigative and prosecutorial standards within the Force.
Responding, the Administrator of the National Judicial Institute welcomed the proposal and expressed the Institute’s readiness to collaborate with the Nigeria Police Force in advancing professional development and improving criminal justice administration.
Justice Adejumo also appreciated the IGP for establishing a police outpost within the Institute and requested further collaboration to strengthen security within the facility.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, in a statement issued from the Force Headquarters, Abuja, said the Nigeria Police Force remains committed to building strategic partnerships that promote professionalism, improve policing standards and advance the administration of criminal justice in the country.
