Nigerians serving jail terms in
the United Kingdom will soon be transferred to Nigeria to complete their
period, following an agreement signed yesterday between the Federal
Government and the UK government.
According to a top government source,
former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori, will be part of those that
will be.......
repatriated to complete their jail term in Nigeria. Ibori still has more than six months to stay in prison.
The British government has also
promised to give Nigeria one million pounds (about N280 million) to
assist in the comprehensive reformation of Nigerian prisons to ease the
stress of the inmates.
The United Kingdom Minister of Justice,
Mr. Jeremy Wright, revealed this when he led the UK team to visit the
Minister of Interior to finalise the process of prisoner exchange
between the two countries.
He said under the agreement, which he
signed, Nigerians in British prisons would be repatriated to complete
their jail terms in the country.Drop a comment...thanks!
