The Lagos State House of Assembly is considering a new bill that will compel a Chief Magistrate within a police division in the state to conduct inspection of the station or other places of detention at least every month.

Giving an overview of the bill, the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Sanai Agunbiade, said that some new innovations were introduced into the bill, saying that the amendment was to strengthen the administration of criminal justice law of the state.

In the Bill, Section 9 states that a person who is arrested and in the custody of the police shall be given reasonable facilities for obtaining legal advice, bail or making arrangements for his defence or release.

It states further that the police shall refrain from parading any suspect before the media.

On the right of suspects, the bill in section 7 explained that a suspect should not be arrested merely on a civil wrong or breach of contract.
