Coronavirus: Buhari Asks Chief Judge To Free Prisoners by whimsicalComedy(m): 12:08pm On Apr 24, 2020 |
:Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the chief judge to free prison inmates who have been awaiting trial for six years or more to ease overcrowding as the novel coronavirus continues to spread, a spokesman said on Tuesday. A statement quoted Buhari as saying 42 percent of Nigeria's 74,000 or so prisoners were awaiting trial. He urged Chief Judge Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad to reduce that number "since physical distancing and self-isolation in such conditions are practically impossible".[/color][color=#770077][color=#006600][/color] |
