Lagos CJ Frees 129 Inmates From Ikoyi Prison by homesteady(m): 11:59pm On Sep 26, 2013
Lagos Chief Judge Justice Ayotunde
Philips, Thursday freed 129 inmates of Ikoyi
Prisons, Lagos, majority of whom were awaiting
trials.
Phillips had on September 25, released 119
inmates from the Kirikiri Medium and Maximum
Security Prisons in Lagos.
The chief judge ordered the release of the
inmates during her visit to the prison as part of
activities marking the one-week 2013/2014 legal
year which commenced on September 23, 2013.
She said the gesture was aimed at decongesting
the prison to alleviate the sufferings of inmates.
Phillips admonished the freed inmates to be of
good behaviour and make positive impacts in the
society.
She said: “Today, I release you, September 26,
2013, from prison custody and I admonish you
to go and sin no more.”

Hope they won't constitute nuisance and become active disaster everywhere. We have more than enough as it is

Good move. Most times the freed inmates have spent more time in prison awaiting-trial than they would have spent if they were sentenced.

At times, u ve to bend the rules to get solution to some probs. Kirikiri is too over crowded and the Nigeria's judiciary system is too slow.

It would be nice to see an investigative report showing how many of these 'freed men' were genuine awaiting trial/unlawful detention folks AND how many were goons who had been caught by the law, ACTUALLY, goons of our political class. . . Used to torment and oppress dissent & opposition

All the same, its good news to know some potentially innocent people have got their freedom back. . . Hallelujah!! cheesy

I am very sure That they all came to Lagos from the land of the fading sun. 90% of the prisoners in Yorubaland came from There. I wish they are deported.

You speak as if you don't know Nigerian police. Some of these guys were jailed for refusing (or not having the money) to pay egunje for minor traffic offence. It is the politicians you should worry about.
