Sixty-six prisoners have been released Today when the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Oluwafunmilayo Atilade granted amnesty to the inmates who had been incarcerated in the Kirikiri Medium Prison, Lagos.
The 66 freed inmates are among the 2789 awaiting trial inmates at the prison which has a capacity of 1700.
Justice Atilade who originally intended to free only 35 inmates, later increase the number to 66 after prison officials prevailed on her to consider other inmates in other to decongest the heavily populated prison.
Admonishing the freed inmates to go and sin no more, Justice Atilade said that the only way to reciprocate the gesture is for them to henceforth live a good life and be of good conduct.
“You are hereby released from this prison today May 9, 2017. Go and sin no more,” She said.
