The case of Blessing Effiong, a 20-year-old inmate awaiting trial at the female section of Kirikiri Prisons, Lagos, perhaps typifies the injustice suffered by the poor in the Nigerian society.http://africacnn..com/2012/04/girl-in-detention-for-four-years-over.html |

This is totally unacceptable. Guess what, in many police cells, there may be worst cases than this. And yet others stealing billions without a pinch. Is there a way she can get any form of compensation too? |

If there was such thing as due process in Nigeria and of course the government created laws, sent out the military force to enforce it and created a check and balance system where people on power trips will be removed and the people that are following the rules are praised. But then i come back to reality, it will never happen in my life time and i'm only in my 20s. |

Even if she was 21 and not 16 shouldn't d state provide her with a legal representation as she couldn't afford one? Again if she told the IPO she was 16 what was the IPO's business to assume she was 21yrs old? Besides, was she not supposed to write her statement and therefore write her age? These police men in black, i have always believed that the color of their uniforms reflect on their heart. She should be released immediately and rehabilitated, please. |

Bode George who stole Billions was covicted within the shortest time and now he's out in town while this poor girl was accussed and left to suffer unduly just because of meagre amount of money! I can't imagine all sort of molestation she must have gone through in the last 4yrs from the prison wardens. |

Tropilo: Aha! After listening to her story, what did the state AG do? Nothing?who knows, maybe sb superior than the state's attorney general have also been briefed about the girl's case in the past but u know what?, Once they leave that premises every will be abandoned unless it's a case that has been made public which they know probably might have attracted people's attention. |

Sometimes I wish I was never born a Nigerian,this is unheard of and a disgrace to this country. Policemen who are pure illiterate always insist on writing statements for their prey so as to influence and control cases completely to guarantee financial settlement that will enrich their pockets. People steal billions of Naira on a daily basis yet roam the street freely but a 16 year was left in Kirikiri prison for four Godly years,one God knows how many times she must have abused/molested by those prison wardens as well as older inmates. Whatever handled the case and the judge that sentence such a young girl to the worst prison should be made to face the music for this injustice,its about time this government begin to do things right starting with this girls's case. |

It seems that when you commit a higher crime in Nigeria you will be set free unlike when you commit lowest crimes. BOMB and go free, Steal Phone and be imprisoned. |

chucky234: Sometimes I wish I was never born a Nigerian,this is unheard of and a disgrace to this country. She is awaiting trial and has not been tried. She is entitled to bail if she had a lawyer. I don't actually believe her story cause her guardian must have known of this and would have reported to human rights lawyers and they would have sent a lawyer or their church or mosque or are they telling me that they don't have 5000 to go to a lawyer for bail. They are just ruthless and the girl maybe a village girl or an orphan. Can't trust this gist cos I would have agreed as a lawyer to go for bail and then leave her on pro bono. My colleagues has done that before. |

Since office of the public defender render free legal service,i think the mab that reported the case without a backward glance ahould be invited,also the never do well police that wrote 21 yrs on her statement should be made to face the book abd eveb have hus salaries used as compensation. When i was in lasu,some guys went into a female student's room and stole her money.the door was not broken and she said she dropped her keys with some neighbours to keep for her room mate,so the studend apprehended those guys that she dropped her keys for and while beating them a man came to plead and said he assure them they would refund the money.the guys absconded and the students went to seize the man's property to refund the female student.the man went to police station to report and two students were arrested and one of them said after writing his statement,the IPO beat him seriously,cuffed him to a post,threw tire on his neck and shook then later dictated that he should write that they were armed robbers. luckily for them,they had influential families and lasu had effective student union and they released the following day.The man that reported was arrested and the police were saying they had a good case but they didnt have the surety's aggrement written down. lessons were learnt,but what beats me is why a sane human would deliberately have someone implicate themselves by torture or trickery and there many cases like that |
