A total of 50,992 out of 68,747 inmates in Nigerian prisons are awaiting trial. Minister of Interior and immediate past governor of Osun State, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this on Friday at the inauguration of the Osun State headquarters of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) in Osogbo.
Aregbesola described congestion of the custodial facilities as a main challenge of the correctional service, pointing out that the entire national custodial facilities have the maximum capacity for 57,278 inmates but as of the last count earlier in the week, there was a total population of 68,747 inmates made up of 67,422 males and 1,325 females.
The minister said: “We have, therefore, shot above the capacity by 18 per cent. But I must add that the congestion is an urban phenomenon limited to big cities like Lagos, Kano and Port Harcourt. There are facilities in non-urban areas that are under-populated.
