| 520 | |a When a legal practitioner is confronted with the question: can the police prosecute a criminal matter at the high court? The answer would certainly be in the positive and the case of FRN v Osahon would be cited as an authority. It appears from the decision in FRN v Osahon that this answer is certainly wrong. The court considering the Nigerian Jurisprudence never made such decision. In fact, the court decided on another issue not before it if you ask Onnoghen JSC a member of the 7 man panel who sat and concurred with the lead judgment. On the other hand, Pat Acholonu JSC (of the blessed memory) who also sat and concurred with the lead judgment would think that Onnoghen JSC is not abreast with the issue before the court. This contribution seeks to critically examine the decision inherent in the much cited FRN v Osahon with a view of determining the true position of the law. It is however argued in the end that whether a police officer can prosecute or not is yet to be stamped with a judicial authority from the apex court. The methodology employed in this work is analysis of the case law as well as examination of relevant statute and cases. | ||
