Nigerian Evidence Act 2011

Section 14 - Discretion to exclude improperly obtained evidence.

Evidence obtained-

(a) improperly or in contravention of a law; or

(b) in consequence of an impropriety or of a contravention of a law, shall be admissible unless the court is of the opinion that the desirability of admitting the evidence is out-weighed by the undesirability of admitting evidence that has been obtained in the manner in which the evidence was obtained.
