Lagos Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem, said these courts will obey the law, while passing fair judgement.

He added that the presence of mobile courts show the government's efforts to provide Lagosians with proper justice.

"Crime is a serious issue that the State is set to tackle headlong through the creation of crime data that would also assist the Police, the lawyers and other stakeholders in fighting crime effectively and I want to assure Lagosians that the State Government is committed to touching their lives, especially the common man, through enhanced access to justice."

These mobile courts will also be used for environmental, cyber crimes, and other forms of crime.

Last year, the Marshal and Chief Executive of Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC),Boboye Oyeyemi, suggested mobile courts as a means of enforcing traffic rules and regulations.

Looks like the state government liked his suggestion.
