Sources of the Nigerian law of evidence

The sources of the Nigerian law of evidence are the legal materials from which courts derive rules on proof, admissibility, relevance, competence and procedure in the reception of evidence. For examination purposes, you must know the main formal sources, how they relate to one another, and which source prevails where there is conflict.
