The Nigerian law on the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence: a step further in reform

The Nigerian law on the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence recently evolved from an inclusionary common law approach to a qualified inclusionary approach, with the enactment of the Evidence Act 2011. However, certain flaws are still to be seen, prominent among which is the failure to distinguish the standards for the admissibility of evidence obtained in breach of constitutional provisions from those for the admissibility of other illegally obtained evidence. It is the objective of this work to point out the implications of these flaws, especially in the light of the hallowed status of the Nigerian Constitution and, in particular, fundamental rights in our jurisprudence.
