silami: •Budgets N280m for Nigeria prisons
Senator Iroegbu and Grace Chimezie


The government United Kingdom (UK) in line with prisoners transfer and exchange agreement with the Federal Government has concluded plans to repatriate former governor of Delta state, James Ibori and many other Nigerians in various UK Prisons, in order to complete their jail terms in the country.

In addition, the British government has also promised to give the country one million pounds [about N280 million] to assist on comprehensive reformation of the Nigerian Prisons for the comfort of the inmates.

This was disclosed Thursday by the UK Minister of Justice, Mr. Jeremy Wright while fielding questions with journalists when he visited the Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro to finalise the process of prisoner exchange between Britain and Nigeria.

Strangely however, Ms. Augie's concurring judgement was already made available to subscribers of an exclusive Nigerian lawyer's listserve, "Rule of Law" Nigeria. The judgement was provided to the listserv by the chairperson of the Nigerian Human Rights
Commission, Chidi Odinkalu, who had initially derided a
Saharareporters' investigative report, which revealed that a deal was in the works to set Al Mustapha free of the murder charges two
weeks before the judgement was hatched.

With reference to bringing Ibori home, it is unclear how Jonathan
will go about it. The National Assembly has approved a prisoner
swap law with the United Kingdom but it is yet to be seen how Ibori
might benefit from that. Between his all-but-buried war against
corruption and his deep desire to retain the presidency, there may be
no limit to what policies he may come up with.

A source at the Presidency in Abuja told Saharareporters that Mr.
Joshua has so much control over Mr. Jonathan right now that
whatever he requests is granted without delay because the president
believes that the pastor holds the spiritual key to his electoral
success in 2015.

django1: How many actual Britons are prisoners in Nigeria? I'm not talking about those nigerians with red passports, but Caucasians?

I doubt if there are any.

The greatest mistake the British will make is to hand over the 1 million pounds to any Nigerian government as that will enter into any of the official's hands and vanish.
Let the British come here and build whatever prison they want to build for them.
