ChikwoInstant verdicts
Describe the situation in plain words and get a clear answer: lawful, unlawful or needs more info. Each verdict names the law it is based on, so you can check it yourself.
For citizens
Know your rights. Know your next move.
A free app that helps Nigerians understand their rights when dealing with officials, landlords, employers and more. Describe what is happening and get a clear answer, with the law behind it.
What the app does
Answers you can use on the spot.
Most people only want to know two things: is this allowed, and what do I do next. Chikwo Justice answers both in plain words, and shows the law it is standing on.
My rights card
What to say and what not to say when the police or another official stops, searches or detains you. It is ready on your phone, so you can show it instead of arguing.
Check fees and levies
Confirm school fees, market levies and other charges against known rates before you pay. If the figure does not match, you already know what to ask for.
Report an incident
Record what happened with the facts in the right order — who, what, when, where. A clean record is what makes escalation possible later.
A 149-scenario library
Arrest, eviction, salary disputes, market raids and more. Every scenario comes with statutory guidance, ready to read when the situation is on top of you.
Offline first, with Pidgin
The core guidance works without data. Every verdict also carries a short Nigerian Pidgin summary alongside the English.
How it works
Three steps, and you know where you stand.
Justice runs in your phone’s browser, and you can install it to your home screen so it opens like any other app. No legal vocabulary needed.
-
Describe your situation
Say it in plain English or Pidgin, the way you would explain it to someone who was there.
-
Get a verdict and a next step
Lawful, unlawful or needs more info — with the law it is based on and what to do next.
-
Keep your rights card ready
Have it on your phone before the moment comes, so you are not reading it for the first time under pressure.
Before you rely on it
This is not a lawyer. Chikwo Justice gives general guidance based on Nigerian statutes, in wording that is deliberately non-binding. It can tell you what the law says and what usually happens next. It cannot advise you on your own case, sign anything for you or speak for you in court. For that you need a qualified lawyer. The app’s job is to make sure you reach that conversation already knowing what the law says.
