| Nigerian senate ratifies extradition treaty
with SA
|
| Lagos |

The Nigerian senate has ratified an extradition treaty with South
Africa to facilitate the repatriation of crime suspects taking refuge in
either country, officials said on Thursday.
The treaty, which had
earlier been endorsed by the Nigerian Cabinet, now has to be approved by
the House of Representatives to be binding.
The two African giants
had signed the treaty in March 2002 in Johannesburg when Nigeria's Vice
President Atiku Abubakar visited South Africa.
The treaty was
approved on Wednesday in Abuja following the recommendation of the senate
committee on foreign affairs.
Committee chairperson Senator Jubril
Aminu said the treaty would "enhance effective cooperation between the
Federal Republic of Nigeria and Republic of South Africa in the
suppression of crime".
He said it would also allow for
investigation, prosecution and suppression of crime, for the protection of
citizens and for the maintenance of peace and public order in Nigeria and
South Africa.
"It will serve as a tool that will enable citizens of
both countries to become more familiar not only with their respective
systems in this area, but also with the justice systems that are working
in both countries to fight crime," he added. - Sapa-AFP
