Abstract :The aim of this study is to conduct the validity and reliability study of Extrajudicial Justice Scale for Nigerian citizens. Sample of the study consisted of 600 Nigerians who were above 18 years and who volunteered to participate in the study. The scale consists of 14 items and 4 factors as “Illegal execution”, “Indictment”, “Unlawful arrest” and “Intimidation”. Total Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was found as 0.859. Accordingly, the Extrajudicial Justice Scale can be used as a valid and reliable instrument for Nigerian citizens. Considering that there is no scale used to assess extrajudicial justice in Nigeria, it is thought that this study will guide future research on the subject and reveal its importance for the society.
