Shocking: Nine Heavily Pregnant Inmates And Eight Babies Live In Kirikiri Prison
The kirikiri prison officials in Lagos have revealed that 8 babies are currently living in the female prison with their mothers while 9 other inmates are pregnant, an official said on Thursday.
According to DAILYTRUST, the Director and Directorate of Citizens Right (DCR), Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Omotilewa Ibirogba disclosed this while leading officials on a welfare check to the prison and also to decongest the prisons.
According to Omotilewa, there are currently 222 inmates, in which 175 are awaiting trial, 43 have been convicted, 2 inmates are serving life sentences and 2 inmates have been sentenced to death.
She added, ”there are also 8 babies who are living with their mothers currently, while 9 other inmates are pregnant.”
She spoke on the future of the 8 babies explaining as soon as they are 24 months old, they would be taken away from their mothers and handed to appointed relations of their mothers to nurture them.
Mrs Omotilewa also said, ”Our findings revealed that a lot of the inmates already have legal representations and have been granted bail by the courts but have not been able to perfect other bail conditions. There are plans by my Directorate to provide free legal services to those whose cases are not going on well in the courts, while applications will be filed to vary bail conditions for those already granted bail by the courts.
”Contrary to what was obtained in the past, the inmates looked neat, healthy, well fed and had no rashes on their bodies.”
NAN reports that the team donated some toiletries to the prison.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Were they all arrested pregnant or they got pregnant while in prison???.. hmmmm… hope they are no male prison officials anywhere near these inmates o!. #LipSealed
Exactly my question.
mtcheeww dey are being impregnated by d male prison officials jor who nor know nor go know
They all obviously didn’t go to jail pregnant but they are not addressing that instead they are telling us how well fed the inmates are
Na wa o! Staying away from trouble is d best, but some are wrongly accused
Hmmmmmm
Before they dont use to allow babies inside prison for 24months ooooo. After delivery they habd the child over to welfare. Why wait for two years? This is not good and healthy for thos kids.
