Nigerian prisoners in UK kick against transfer agreement




Some Nigerians serving various jail terms in the UK have kicked against the recently signed Prisoner Transfer Agreement between Nigeria and British governments.

Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the UK, Dr Dalhatu Tafida, on Tuesday in London confirmed this in an interview with the Europe Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria.

Tafida said that some of the prisoners have expressed concern over returning to the country to complete their terms, citing poor prison facilities and stigma as main reasons.
