BEVERLY HILLS, October 06, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has called on the judiciary to come up with an initiative that will ensure the speedy dispensation of justice, which would ultimately lead to the decongesting of the country’s prisons.
He made this call on Friday when judges of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and other head of courts paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The President advocated the establishment of courts in prison yards to hasten the decongestion of the correctional facilities, pointing out that the logistics of transporting prisoners to court is huge.
He went on to task the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami to take up the matter of the welfare of judicial officers with the salaries and wages commission.
