The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has called on security agencies in the country to ensure full compliance with court orders and to respect human rights.
She expressed concern over the growing trend of non-compliance by some law enforcement agencies, noting that such acts undermine the integrity of the justice system and weaken public confidence.
According to a Sunday statement by her Senior Special Assistant on Media, Tobi Soniyi, the CJN made the call when the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and his team, paid her a courtesy visit in Abuja.
Justice Kekere-Ekun emphasised that the rule of law requires strict adherence to judicial decisions, stating that disobedience to court orders erodes public trust in both law enforcement and the judiciary.
