Nigerian Prison System is poor, Needs Reform – Kemi Olunloyo

Embattled journalist and blogger, Kemi Olunloyo, has bewailed the poor state of Nigerian prisons, which she noted needs urgent attention and reform.

The blogger said this via her Twitter after her release from the Port Harcourt Prison on Monday.

Olunloyo, who is the daughter of a former governor of Oyo State, Dr Omololu Olunloyo, also called on the Senator representing Oyo Central at National Assembly, Monsurat Sunmonu, to draft and present a bill on Prison Reforms to the Senate.

She tweeted: “Need to testify at Nigerian Senate on Press Freedom, Prison reforms in Nigeria. Senator Monsurat Sunmonu, please let’s draft a bill. Democracy not Dictatorship.”‎

Recall that the controversial blogger was arrested in Lagos in March and arraigned at the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for alleged cybercrime.

She was said to have published a story believed to be capable of defaming a cleric, Pastor David Ibiyeomie.

The court ordered Olunloyo to be remanded in prison custody until she meets the bail conditions stipulated for her release.
