My work focuses on the barriers to access
to justice and the the drivers of street
justice in Nigeria. I have engaged with
secondary data like the Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, statutes,
journal articles, court judgments, books,
international documents, newspapers,
and so on, to examine the effectiveness of
the judicial and legal processes and the
factors encourage the resort to street
justice. The work evaluated the inherent
circumstances of the courts in Nigeria
and the conditions of the justice seekers
that make access to justice almost an
impossibility. The judicial mechanism of
dispute settlement does not often meet
the justice needs of individuals and some
people have become inclined to seek
justice by other means outside courts.
From the findings, recommendations
were put forth to inform choices as well
as seek avenues for improvement.
