He said, “The police are largely responsible for the congestion of our custodian centers. They file frivolous and dubious charges against some people. Most of these charges do not have basis in fact and law and they lack merit and once they get to the court they are remanded.
“The police are also guilty of frame-up of people for different charges. I have seen so many of such cases. This is what is responsible for the congestion. The correctional service has no fault. The courts, especially the magistrate courts, also contribute to this problem. For us to address this issue, we must look at how the police are undermining the criminal justice system. It is not proper for people to be kept for too long in prison all in the name of awaiting trial.”
Another Human rights lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, also blamed the police, calling for an overhaul of the justice system.All rights reserved.
