| dc.description.abstract | This study x-rayed the causes and implications of corruption and other related problems in Nigerian the judicial system. In order to answer the research questions, descriptive cum qualitative approach was employed. This instrument, coupled with mail interview guide, proved effective in collecting data from experts in different fields of human endeavour, such as correctional officers, criminologists, legal practitioners, and educationalists. The collected data were transcribed and coded, using Nvivo12 and was analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that the prevalence of corruption precedes the dispensation of unfair judgments; the existence of corruption leads to a situation in which bourgeoisies in the society get favoured in exchange for cash and other favours; corruption within the Nigerian Judicial System has actually led to the proliferation of criminal activities, the perpetrators of which routinely pay their way to evade justice; judicial corruption engenders a blased administration of justice; and the independence of the judiciary is necessary for democracy and the rule of law to thrive. Based on the findings, the study recommended the need to strategize reformations of policies that will suffice to efface, or enfeeble, the corruption bug which appears to have stung the Nigerian Judicial System for decades | |
