Do Only the Poor go to Jail in Nigeria?

Nigeria’s criminal justice system has often been criticised and ridiculed for its inability to secure convictions, particularly for offences perpetuated by high profile individuals. Yet, one recalls the case of a young man, Kelvin Ighodalo, who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for stealing Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s N50,000 Sony Ericsson phone.

Our justice system is inherently flawed but the current debate over reform efforts is lacking in substance as it focuses mostly on efforts to bring corrupt public officials to heel (which is definitely needed, corruption kills Nigerians let’s never forget it) but the brunt of the system’s injustice and unfairness is actually experienced by the poor masses who spend years in jail awaiting trial, while the rich accused of worse crimes, simply make bail and then wait it out while the case is adjourned till it is forgotten.
