Release of repentant Boko Haram: Rights group demands same to all inmates in correctional centres
justice, release all inmates serving in various jail terms in correctional centres across the country.
The Prison Inmate Development Initiative had been, over the years, advocating for the rights of key population in Nigeria, especially those in conflict with the criminal justice systems . “Mr. President, we know that you are fully aware that ‘terrorism’ is a crime against humanity and human rights, which threatens and endangers the peace and the security of mankind”. The group stressed.
According to the rights group, “the law, in section 12 has already empowered the comptroller of correctional service to reject additional inmates above facility under their watch”. “However; the 1999 constitution section 15. The motto of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress. Accordingly, national integration shall be actively encouraged, whilst discrimination on the grounds of place of origin, sex, religion, status, ethnic or linguistic association or ties shall be prohibited”, Sabka explained.
