They refuse women from standing as surety for bail though there is no law that prohibits
women from standing as surties.
Lastly, Corruption is the only reason that can explain the snail speed at which the
administration of criminal justice is moving in Nigeria. corruption plays a large role in
the denial of bail by the police.
Although a notice that 'Bail is not for sale, it is your right' is conspicuously displayed
in most police stations, accused persons fail to regard bail as a right, Worst still, in a
country where the average adult literacy rate is 43 per cent, many accused persons
cannot read this notice.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO NIGERIA GOVERNMENT
1.Victims of rape should be adequately compensated
2 A law in place making it mandatory for perpetuators of rape to take full responsibility
and claim for their offspring
3. A MONITORING TEAM IN PLACE TO MONITOR THE NUMBER OF CRIMINAL CASES
DESPENCE WITH PER YEAR WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN 5,000 PER YEAR.
