Ostensibly raising an alarm over the congestion of the correctional centres in Lagos State, the Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service recently
Last year, the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola requested state governors to comply with their constitutional duty of signing death warrants for death row inmates; but the request died down unheeded. For condemned prisoners awaiting the hangman’s noose indefinitely in a correctional centre, it is double jeopardy: imprisonment for an unending term plus the terrible anxiety and anguish of indefinitely awaiting the hangman’s noose.
The court also held in the aforesaid case that to starve a condemned prisoner to death or allow him to die systematically and by instalment in prison is a great violation of his right to life and personal dignity. To keep prisoners on death row in indefinite incarceration amid the whims and caprices or the procrastination of state governors, is, to say the least, a monumental injustice that cries to the high heavens for remedy.
