There is need to solidify the synergy between the Police and the Judiciary as key players in the Criminal Justice System of the nation with a view to ensuring a smooth and efficient dispensation of justice.

Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba made the plea when he led his management team on a courtesy visit to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Muhammad in his office at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Abuja.

He equally sought the collaboration of the Chief Justice of Nigeria in accrediting the legal department of the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State to enable its graduates proceed for further studies at the Nigerian Law School.
The police chief emphasised that this will ensure the Police have more lawyers within its pool to strengthen its prosecutorial duties and hopefully produce more Senior Advocates of Nigeria in the future.
The Inspector-General of Police emphasised the inclination of his administration to upholding the sanctity of the Criminal Justice system and rule of law which is vital to professionalism and citizen-based policing.
Justice Ibrahim Muhammad who appreciated the visit which was the first of its kind ever by a sitting Police Chief, commended him for his thoughtfulness.
He expressed readiness to continually partner with the Nigeria Police Force for seamless justice administration.
