The Senate has passed a bill to protect whistleblowers and witnesses directly involved in the prosecution of certain criminal cases.
The bill, titled Witness Protection Programme (Establishment etc), SB 157, was passed on Thursday, following a report submitted by the committee on human rights, legal matters and judiciary chaired by David Umaru (APC-Niger).
It was sponsored by Isiaka Adeleke, the Osun West APC Senator who died in April.
