The Federal Government has called on the courts to speed up the trial of kidnappers, bandits and terror suspects across the country. According to officials, delays in prosecution allow criminals to return to society without punishment, which worsens insecurity. The government believes faster trials will send a strong message and help reduce crime.

Authorities stressed that many security agencies work hard to arrest suspects, but slow legal processes weaken their efforts. They explained that justice must be timely for it to be effective. The FG urged judges and legal institutions to prioritise cases linked to violent crimes.

The government also said that speeding up these trials will bring relief to victims and their families. Many families spend months or even years waiting for justice, and this has caused frustration. Quick judgments, according to the FG, will help rebuild trust in the justice system.

Officials added that the government is ready to support the judiciary with the resources needed to fast-track these cases. They emphasised that tackling insecurity requires both strong security operations and an efficient court system.
