ABSTRACT
This project deals with the utility of confessional statement in criminal trials Nigeria. A confession is an admission made at any time by a person charge with a crime, stating or suggesting the inference that he committed that crime, In Nigeria, as the case in point, confessions are covered by section 27 to 32 of the Evidence Act 1990. The specific objectives were to critically examine circumstances in which confessional statement are admissible;determine the effect of retracted confessional statement in criminal trials in Nigeria and critically examine circumstances in which confessional statements may be vitiated and application in decided cases. A normative or doctrinal research was adopted to achieve this objectives. The study revealed that Where inducement, threat or promise issued has cased to exist, any subsequent confessional statement obtained would be admissible and A confession does not become inadmissible merely because the accused denies having made it but the court in acting on such retracted confessional statement must satisfy itself that the accused in fact made the statement out of his own free will and choice.
