SIR: Nigerians have a troubled history with their criminal justice system. Whether it is loud complaints that the system accommodates yawning cracks through which master criminals escape, to suspicions about the competence of those who run the system to outright outrage when those who know nothing about heinous crimes go in while the guilty escape, the entire criminal justice system seems to be one big booby trap.
Surely, many argue, Nigerians would be assured of greater economic and financial security if those who plunder the public purse by reason of wanton corruption are timeously and expertly divested of their loot and made to cool their heels in some correctional facility away from the ostentation that their theft hitherto promised.
What is detention like in Nigeria? Horror stories abound. Those who had tasted it have told stories of detention cells at the police station sticky with squalor; of extremely poor sanitary conditions, and of the cruellest attempts to divest people who find themselves there of humanity and dignity.
