Section 25: Arrest by Magistrate

(1) A Magistrate may arrest or direct the arrest in his presence of a suspect whose arrest on a warrant he could have lawfully ordered if the facts known to him at the time of making or directing the arrest had been stated before him on oath by some other person.
(2) Where a suspect is arrested in accordance with the provisions of either section 23 or 24 of this Act, the Judge or Magistrate making or directing the making of such arrest may deal with the suspect so arrested in the same manner as if the suspect had been brought before him by or under the directions of any other person.
