Nigerian Magistrate Umar Faruk Kabir Works To Administer A Criminal Justice System Without Fear Or Favor

Umar strongly believes that alternative conflict resolution in the Nigerian judicial system is a beneficial practice for decreasing future crime. He describes the Nigerian legal system as primarily punitive; therefore, he employs alternative dispute resolution in certain situations where a person needs to be reformed but not necessarily sentenced. “When you need to reform somebody, you don’t need to always have somebody to be sentenced. You need to have settlement or forgiveness, a kind of forgiveness,” says Umar. “We can offer the option for settlement between the parties. And they’re not necessarily to be punished for the offense when the complainant is looking for what he has been cheated on.”
