Kirikiri Thank you - 233 inmates set free from Kirikiri prisons

233 prisoners were on Tuesday set free by the Chief Judge of Lagos, Justice Ayotunde Phillips, most of who have been awaiting trials for upwards of twelve years. The prisoners were released to mark the beginning of another legal year.

130 inmates were released from prison custody at the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison while another 103 from the Kirikiri Medium Security Prison.

There is a saying in the legal circle that it is better for 10 guilty persons to be free than for one innocent person to be incarcerated.We have gone through the list of those recommended for release. So for those of you qualified to be released, you are very lucky that your name has come up. So, go and sin no more,” She said.
