A Professor of Law, Yemi Akinseye-George (SAN), has identified the lack of political will on the part of elected government officials as the reason for the upsurge in insecurity currently plaguing all parts of Nigeria.
Akinseye-George, who is the president of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies (CSLS), lamented that daily media report is replete with killings, kidnappings, jail breaking, attacks on law enforcement personnel, destruction of courts, and threats of invasion of different parts of the country by bandits, terrorists, cultists, cattle rustlers, and other outlaws.
He stated this last Tuesday in Abuja during a workshop to ‘Review and Validate the Explanatory Notes on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015’.

The lawyers, including former Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Prof. Epiphany Azinge (SAN); former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof. Chidi Odinkalu; Mr. Dayo Akinlaja (SAN) and Prof. Yemi Akinseye-George (SAN), spoke yesterday in separate interviews with THISDAY against the backdrop of negotiations with the bandits in order
