News coming in from the U.K Daily Mail Newspapers say
that hundreds of Nigerian criminals will be sent home to serve out
prison sentences under a deal set to be struck by ministers within
weeks.
Talks are said to be continuing into reaching a compulsory prisoner
transfer agreement, which could see more than half of the 500 criminals
from Nigeria currently in UK jails repatriated.
Britain has even made clear it will pay to build new prisons in
countries like Nigeria to speed up the process of sending foreign
criminals home.
Up to £1 Million has been promised to upgrade Nigerian jails including a new wing at the Kirikiri prison in Lagos.
Latest figures show there are 534 Nigerian nationals in British jails, 485 men and 49 women.
