By virtue of sections 15(4) and 17(2) of the ACJA, a duty is imposed on public functionaries (police officers and other officers of any law enforcement agency established by an Act of the National Assembly and this includes the EFCC) to record electronically on retrievable video compact disc or such other audio visual means, the confessional statements of a suspect and to take statements of suspects in the present of the person(s) set out in section 17(2).

Generally, provocation has been described to mean some act or series of acts done by the deceased to the accused which would cause in a reasonable man and did cause in the accused a sudden and temporary loss of self-control, rendering the accused so subject to passion as to make him or her for the moment not master of his mind.
