500 CRIMINALS TO BE REPATRIATED FROM THE UK

Information from the U.K Daily Mail Newspapers has indicated that hundreds of Nigerian criminals will be sent home to serve out prison sentences under a deal set to be struck by ministers within weeks.
Talks are said to be continuing into reaching a compulsory prisoner transfer agreement, which could see more than half of the 500 criminals from Nigeria currently in UK jails repatriated. Statistics show that there are 534Nigerian Nationals in British jails, 485 are men and 49 are women
Britain has even made clear it will pay to build new prisons in countries like Nigeria to speed up the process of sending foreign criminals home.
Up to £1 Million has been promised to upgrade Nigerian jails including a new wing at the Kirikiri prison in Lagos.
