President Muhammadu Buhari has instructed governors and heads of state to release prisoners who are unnecessarily detained as part of judicial reforms.
According to Vanguard, the president in Abuja said on Monday that he had passed the directive to the states last month, explaining that overcrowded prisons and some other identifiable issues in the judiciary had caused the system to lose faith.
Buhari spoke at the opening of the 2017 All-Nigerian Judges Conference of the Superior Courts, in Abuja.
