    An Analysis of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015
    (The Journal of Environmental and Human Right Law, 2023) Kontagora, A.M
    The rising crime rate in Nigeria in recent times in the form of murder, robbery, fraud, terrorism, banditry, militancy, herders/farmers clashes, kidnappings and so on is alarming thereby necessitating the reactions of the law enforcement agents, like the police and other security agencies. Who in the course of doing their job of trying to enforce the provisions of criminal laws in the country with a view to curbing such crimes sometimes overstep their boundaries by infringing on the fundamental human rights of the suspects and defendants thereby necessitating the enactment of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015 which has outlined the various rights of suspects and or defendants before, during trials, and after convictions. This Article, therefore, examined the rights of suspects and defendants under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015 and how it sought to protect the rights of the defendants and the loopholes/shortcomings in the provisions of the enactment. As well as the areas where it conflicts with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria of 1999 (As Amended). That while the enactment made provisions for the protection of the fundamental human rights of suspects/defendants, some sections of the ASJA, like sections 293 - 296 conflict with $.36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended). The Article therefore among others recommended for the proper training and retraining of the law enforcement agents on the fundamental human rights of suspects/defendants. It is also recommended that the sections of the enactment that are inconsistent with the provisions of the constitution be repealed.

    (Port Harcourt Journal of Business Law, 2017) Kontagora, A.M
    Land is the most important resource any individual or government can own. It is for this reason that it attracts a lot of attention and interests leading to conflicts. Consequently, laws are made to protect the land and the various interests conflicting over it. That is what motivated this scholar to look into some of those areas (of interests and conflicts) to highlight them and the relevant laws, observations and make recommendations for the minimization of such conflicts so as to enhance economic activities in the country.
