Daily Law Tips (Tip 400) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)
WHEN YOU MUST ASSIST SECURITY AGENTS IN ARRESTING SUSPECTS.
Any person in Nigeria is bound to assist law enforcement agents, Judges, Magistrates or any other person in the arrest of a suspect or prevention of escape of a suspect.
As a person (Civilian/Private) you must assist in arrest of a suspect where and when your help is reasonably demanded by a person who is authorized to make arrest.
Failure to comply to a reasonable demand to assist in arrest is treated as misconduct by the appropriate authority.
My authorities are sections 27, 491, 494 and 495 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and other similar laws across States in Nigeria.
