“There is someone inside Kirikiri that is said to have stolen generator, him and the person he sold generator to, two of them are inside Kirikiri since 1999, calculate the years,” Seaking said in Pidgin English.
He expressed disbelief at the situation, questioning why the buyer of the stolen item was imprisoned alongside the alleged thief for such a prolonged period.
“Why is it that the person who used his money to buy the stolen generator is in prison since 1999?” he asked.
Seaking further lamented the socio-economic disparity evident in the prison, stating, “Poor Nigerians are who are in Kirikiri. When I entered there, I saw only poor and voiceless people there.”
