The following encompasses Nigerian basic laws on theft, fraud, and deception, EXCEPT
A. Criminal Code
B. Penal Code
C. Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act
D. Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act
E. Bankruptcy Act

Answer: E

Explanation:
The correct answer is “E. Bankruptcy Act.” While the other laws address criminal activities like theft and fraud, the Bankruptcy Act focuses on insolvency and financial restructuring, not criminal offenses.

Nigerian Laws, apart from customary law, are greatly influenced by
A. English Law
B. English Decree
C. English Edicts
D. English Orientals
E. English Courts

Answer: A

Explanation:
The correct answer is “A. English Law.” This is because Nigerian laws, historically, were significantly shaped by English common law and legislation, especially during the colonial period when Nigeria was under British rule. The other options do not represent actual sources of influence in the same way. For example, “English Decree” and “English Edicts” are not recognized legal frameworks in the historical influence of Nigerian law.
