Evidence Act 2011

The Evidence Act 2011 establishes the legal framework governing the admissibility, relevance, weight, and proof of evidence in judicial proceedings across Nigeria. It sets out the rules for presenting oral, documentary, electronic, and real evidence, while regulating the burden and standard of proof, witness testimony, presumptions, confessions, expert evidence, and the examination of witnesses.

Widely regarded as one of the most important statutes for legal practice, the Act provides the evidential rules applied in civil and criminal proceedings before Nigerian courts. It also modernises the law by recognizing electronic evidence and addressing contemporary methods of proving facts in legal proceedings.
