This Bill seeks to establish a National Convict and Criminal Records (Registry) Act to provide for the establishment of a National registry with regard to the collation and storage of criminal information and records for the country.
This bill will create a central record of information of persons convicted of criminal
offences whether in Nigeria or in other countries
It will demand records from the various courts in Nigeria vested with criminal jurisdiction, information and records of persons convicted of criminal offences
It will demand records from the prison authorities and other remand homes and centres, information and records of persons serving or have served any term of imprisonment as convicts
It will demand records from Nigerian missions abroad, police authorities and such other relevant institutions, information and records relating to Nigerians that have been convicted of criminal offences in other countries or are serving or have served any term imprisonment in such countries
This bill will formulate, initiate and implement such policies, programmes and measures that will enhance information and record-keeping or persons convicted of criminal offences with a view to having and maintaining an efficient and reliable data-base system of criminal records in Nigeria
This bill will do anything which in its opinion may advance the objects for which the
registry is set up
