Femi Falana, a human rights lawyer, has urged Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo to reconsider his proposal to use N500 million to pay the court costs for 4,000 inmates.
Falana madethe plea in a statement titled ‘Interior Minister should review plan to pay fines of N500 million’, which he signed as the Chairman, Alliance on Surviving Covid 19 and Beyond (ASCAB) on Sunday.
He further urged Tunji-Ojo to seek the wellbeing of the detainees at their different correctional facilities located throughout the federation rather than using the fund designated for that reason.
