He called for swifter judicial processes to uphold suspects\u2019 rights and ensure timely prosecution.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner also raised concerns about juvenile offenders, calling for the establishment of Borstal homes in the state and more frequent juvenile court sittings, particularly for cases involving sexual offenses against minors.<\/p>\n

He stressed the need for urgent reforms to protect vulnerable populations and deliver prompt justice.<\/p>\n

Responding, Hon. Justice Lilian Abai welcomed the delegation and commended the Command\u2019s commitment to justice and inter-agency cooperation. She reaffirmed the judiciary\u2019s readiness to collaborate more closely with the police to address the concerns raised.<\/p>\n
