Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo: What Correctional Services?
My brother, it is looking like we are being faced with an “audio” minister. Mbok, before I go and fire and put myself in trouble, shebi the correctional facilities are under his ministry? Shebi he was the one that suspended some ogas there during the last Bobrisky scandal and got visited by the black man wey no dey baff?
My brother, I’m not sure if I am not older than him so I won’t call him egbon. The interview with Ruth Osime on ARISE TV the other day where one man was telling us horrendous stories about the correctional facilities should make you either cry or resign.
Mbok, as I listened to the man, I lost my erection. Overcrowding, no health facility, corruption, loss of lives, poor documentation, dead facilities and erasure of human rights?
Prisoners still retain their human rights and must be treated with dignity at all times. That statement as quoted by the pundit that there are no rights here as told by your official is poor and shows just how debilitating the whole thing has reached.
Can we now stop the powdery showcasing of our abilities and institute very robust prison reforms along the areas of health, amenities, infrastructure, welfare, prisoner rights, capacity training for the officials and the inmates amongst others?
If not that the place dey fear me, I would have gone for a visit. I fear the place more than anything in this world and will not go anywhere near it. That is why I respect myself and try to be law abiding. If not, I would have gone in there and refuse to leave until you do something about the conditions. For now, let’s be doing activism from a laptop. It’s safer. My brother, do something otherwise, people will continue using godfather to rent apartments instead of checking in o. Kai.
