Why Nigeria struggles with this
Nigeria’s courts do issue bench warrants — but enforcement is the weak link.

Poor tracking systems
There is no unified national database for:

passports

immigration alerts

police warrants

court orders

A person can simply “disappear” inside the country.

Weak extradition enforcement
Nigeria has treaties but rarely uses them effectively.
Political will is inconsistent.

Powerful defendants can influence the system
This is the elephant in the room.
Former ministers, governors, and politically connected individuals often:

evade arrest

negotiate behind the scenes

use security agencies for protection
