IS THERE A FIXED ORDER FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS IN
NIGERIA?
Who must be interviewed first in criminal investigation? Is
there a person that must be investigated first before others? Is
there an approved order or sequence for investigations in Nigeria?
Below are the words of the Supreme Court on this issue:
“Apart from the power vested in the Police for the prevention
and detection of crime and the apprehension of offenders, I am not
aware of any law which stipulates the order in which investigations
are to be carried out…. Criminal investigations are carried out by
the Police based on information at the disposal of the Force and
the investigator uses his own discretion to determine how to go
about the work.” Per AKA’AHS ,J.S.C ( Pp. 8-9, paras. C-E ).

My authority is:
1. The Supreme Court’s judgement in the case of OLATINWO v.
STATE (2013) LPELR-19979(SC)
