Surprisingly, Police Officer Must Witness All Communication Between Lawyer And Arrested Suspect.

* DAILY LAW TIPS (Tip 311) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM.

SURPRISINGLY, POLICE OFFICER MUST WITNESS ALL
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LAWYER AND ARRESTED SUSPECT.

Although, lawyers are authorised to have private and privileged
communication with clients, where a lawyer is to communicate with
an arrested suspect, such communication or legal advice must be
done in the presence of a police officer or any officer of the
security agency having custody of the arrested suspect.

My authorities are sections 14(3), 494 and 495 of the
Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and other similar laws
across States in Nigeria.
