Nigeria's Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Monday, accused the Nigerian Police Force and judges for keeping suspects in prison custody longer than is legally permissible without trial. The Vice President made the accusation during the opening ceremony of the two-day Stakeholders’ Summit organized by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, where he was represented by Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.

At the summit, holding at Eko Convention Centre, Eko Hotels in Lagos, the Vice President said suspects are kept in prison custody for as long as three years without being charged to court. The situation, he explained, has left over 47,000 suspects still awaiting trial in prisons across the country.

“As at 2017, we have 47,229 "unsentenced" detainees awaiting trial out of a total prison population of 67,586. It may interest you to know that Lagos State has the highest number of unsentenced detainees in Nigeria, according to a recent statistic released by the National Bureau of Statistics and Nigerian Prison Service released in 2015,” said the Vice President.

He noted that 85.9 percent of the Lagos State prison population is made up of yet-to-be-charged detainees, adding that the time spent in detention is dependent on the length of proceedings, which are usually extended because of incessant adjournment or lack of diligence by investigators.

As solutions to lengthy prison custody periods, the Vice President called on the judiciary to embrace a daily trial system and sanction lawyers, who deliberately delay proceedings with the intention of stalling trial. He urged the judges and other relevant stakeholders in justice administration to diligently discharge their duties.

“If we can agree that these problems are against our collective interests as practitioners and stakeholders, then we must make a firm commitment to tackle the problems by changing our attitude and standing up for what is right,” he said.

The Vice President, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, also accused some judges of sitting for less than three and half hours.

“They will not sit on time and before 3:30pm; they would rise. Such behavior from judges must stop” he said.

Mr. Osinbajo commended Lagos State for the progress made by its judicial system, saying the summit represents an indication of commitment towards building a world class judiciary.

Another speaker at the summit, Mr. Olawale Fapohunda, Managing Partner, Legal Resources Consortium, noted that Lagos State prisons are overcrowded. According to Fapohunda, Ikoyi Prison has a capacity of 800 but holds 2,299 inmates. Badagry Prison, he noted, has a capacity of 130, but holds 375 inmates, while Kirikiri Medium Prison, built to accommodate 1,700 inmates, now holds 2,735.

This is my problem with these people. You are never strong or united or bold enough to create your own political movement. Years ago, PDP was Obasanjo party, and immediately the same party turned GEJ to president, you abandoned your wretched party and all became PDP, starving your Ojuwku party to death. Today, your shameless lots are stampeding to APC, a once Amala party. What is wrong with turning Apga to a national party that could compete against APC? Well, you can't. All you do is hate, and then when those you hate gain the higher hand, you start forming familiarity. The same way you hate the Yorubas whose land you live. The same way you hate.
