The President, Muhammadu Buhari, has called on the
judiciary to come up with an initiative that will ensure speedy dispensation of
justice thereby decongesting the nation’s prisons.
The President made
this known when the judges of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and other head
of courts paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
President Buhari
further called for the establishment of courts in prison yards to speed up
decongestion. According to him, logistics of transporting prisoners to court is
huge. He, therefore, asked the Attorney General to take up the matter of
welfare of judicial officers with the salaries and wages commission.
