Should the doctrine of judicial precedent be abolished in nigeria law?

Many countries are happy with judicial precedent. If it were not in place then judgements in previous cases would not be relevant in current cases. This could lead to situations where people were found not guilty in the past for exactly the same accusation for which they could be found guilty now. That can not be fair.
If the public think that a particular judgement leading to a judicial precedent is not correct, they can pass a law in the legislature to correct the mistake.

Nigeria was not united as a single independent state until after its territories were already under the influence of the British Empire.

To that end however, the British did not truly begin occupying territory until the mid 1880s.While they faced some resistance from local tribes and from the remnants of the Kanem-Bornu Empire, the British had little problem facing their less advanced military forces.
