The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi has said that the Federal Government and the 36 states of the federation review the law imposing sentencing for suicide attempts.
Fagbemi (SAN) said that the Federal Government would liaise with the 36 States to reappraise the extant laws prohibiting suicide.
The AGF, in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday, said he gave the assurance when he received a delegation from the Asido Foundation, a non-governmental organisation promoting mental health advocacy and reforms with a view to improving awareness, reducing stigma and discrimination and empowering persons with mental disorders and their families.
