Fiudo Study Series
Criminal Law
The Criminal Code and the Penal Code side by side
Nigeria runs two criminal codes. This volume teaches both in parallel — Criminal Code in the south, Penal Code in the north — so that the differences in definition, defence and sentencing are visible on the page rather than discovered in an exam hall.
