AGF Malami Meets Judges Over Rising Sexual Violence In Nigerian Schools, Others

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN on Tuesday held a capacity-building workshop for justices and judges of Nigerian courts on the disturbing phenomenon of Sexual and Gender-based violence happening within its jurisdictions, including in schools.
