| dc.description | The objective of this book is to present, in a comprehensive manner, the Nigerian law of evidence based mainly on the Evidence Act, cap. 62 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria and Lagos, 1958. In writing this book I have kept in view the needs of two types of readers: first, students reading for their degree examinations in Nigerian Universities and those reading for their final examinations at the Nigerian Law School. Secondly, I have in view also the needs of legal practitioners, judges, magistrates and all others who have to do with the administration of justice anywhere in Nigeria. | |
