Luxury life of VIPs in Nigerian prisons
■ They pay N50,000 for special cells, own generators for power supply
■ Sleep with women for a fee, hire others as domestic servants
■ Our laws allow separate cells for the rich –Prison authority
As Nigerians await the outcome of the investigation panel inaugurated to look into what led to the recent riot in Kirikiri Medium Security prison, more facts have continued to emerge on what really transpired in the incident which claimed at least three lives and more than 15 others injured.
Coming to limelight are fresh claims by inmates and ex-inmates that there are privileged or super prisoners in Nigerian prisons, thus confirming the popular quote in George Orwell’s Animal Farm that all animals are equal but some are more equal than the others. The Prison authorities, however, deny this insisting that no such thing happens in their custody.Source Sunnews Nigeria
