Some Nigerians, on Wednesday, demanded justice for a former inmate of the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, Lagos, Idris Saula, saying all those who had hands in his unjust incarceration for six years mus
t be brought to justice.
While those arrested along with him were released after allegedly paying N50,000 each for bail to policemen from the Ajiwe Police Division, Saula was transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad office, where he spent over five months.A year after his detention, the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions reportedly issued legal advice absolving him of all charges and ordering his release.
He was never taken to court for trial until the intervention of a human rights lawyer, Femi Falana , who secured his release.They urged the victim to sue for damages.“What a story! This is typical of this our Nigeria. People suffer for nothing and some have their lives wasted just because they could not bribe our law enforcement agents. On the other hand, many criminals get away with crimes because they successfully bribe the system.
