In his keynote address, Hon. Justice M. N Obi also harped on the importance of proper investigation before making arrest, insisting that such should be carried out in accordance with the law.

Obi, however, berated the manner in which police in some cases carry out mass arrests of innocent individuals that may not have committed any offence when the actual suspect must have escaped.

He said investigating agencies must be conversant with the provisions of the law that protected the right of both the suspect and complainant as he reminded them that record keeping was necessary for the purpose of proper documentation just as he said that electronic surveillance played critical role in high case evidences.

Earlier in their goodwill messages, the officer in charge of legal, Delta State Police Command, CSP Gladys Imegwu noted that police were often confronted with challenges where suspects did not have access to legal representation or support from the family or civil society groups.
