inmates comprise 24 females and 1,220 males, with 144 of the total number of inmates already convicted of various offences. Odunlami disclosed that the aim of the visit was to seek for cooperation and support of members of the Ibadan Branch of NBA in helping inmates. ”We want you to assist inmates without financial means to get legal assistance, as our Agodi facility is housing many inmates who do not have financial capacity to get legal aid,” he said.
“Government is doing its best, but corporate organisations and non-governmental organisations like NBA also need to complement government’s efforts in the provision of welfare packages for inmates,” he said. In her response, the Chairperson of Ibadan Branch of NBA, Folashade Aladeniyi, said the awaiting trial inmates have constitutional rights to be visited. She said this would be within a specified timeframe and by their relations and lawyers without any financial obligation.
