Clear understanding of relevant laws and its provisions would aid proper enforcement of such laws in the dispensation of justice.

The Chief Judge of Oyo State, Justice Muntar Abimbola stated this at a 2-day sensitization seminar for judges and magistrates in Oyo State on the in-depth knowledge and implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law 2020 which was held on the 29th and 30th November, 2021 at the Kakanfo Inn and Conference Centre in Ibadan.

Justice Abimbola while acknowledging that the saying, “Justice delayed is justice denied” was true, noted that it was equally important not to rush the justice process in an unfair manner.

In a remark, the Director, Centre for Population and Reproductive Health, Professor Oladosu Ojengbede said the seminar was aimed at bringing the VAPP 2020 law into perspective for judges and magistrates in order to enhance their decision making when relevant cases are brought before them.

Our correspondent reports that the seminar which was held by the United Nations Population Fund Project in collaboration with the Oyo State Judiciary and the Centre for Population and Reproductive Health, CPHR will continue on the 12th and 13th of December for another batch of judges and magistrates in Oyo State.
