The laws that protect tomorrow

The article highlights the inadequacy of current legal frameworks in addressing complex criminal issues such as missing persons, organized violence, and ritual killings in Nigeria. It uses vivid scenarios to illustrate the personal and societal impacts of weak enforcement and slow judicial processes. The focus shifts to Ogun State's recent approval of four executive bills aimed at modernizing the legal system to combat emerging criminal threats. Among these, the Group Liability for Offences of Violence, Extortion and Secret Societies Bill (GLOVES Bill) is emphasized as an effort to hold organized crime groups collectively responsible for their actions. While the article acknowledges the need for legislative review, it frames the initiative as a significant step toward strengthening the rule of law.
