75 inmates of the Kirikiri prisons were yesterday freed by the Lagos State Chief Judge, Justice Ayotunde Phillips.
Majority of the inmates who were set free by the chief judge were still awaiting trial prior to the favour granted them. Seventy-one of the inmates were released from the medium section of the prison, three from maximum and one from the female prisons.
Justice Phillips ordered their release pursuant to the powers conferred on her under Section 1(1) of the Criminal Justice Release from Custody Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2007.
She admonished the inmates to be of good behaviour and shun crime so as to ensure they don’t return
to prison.
