Media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu said he spent Boxing Day in Kirikiri Prison with inmates. Ebuka shared the story on his Twitter, describing the experience as a surreal one.
He saw the inmates serve mass, sing in the choir, and he listened to them share their stories.
He added that there were too many unfortunate tales; two-thirds of the 3000 inmates still awaiting trial.

Anyways, was super proud to see my elder brother receive an award for the good work he continues to do for almost a decade now with inmates in Kirikiri. Hopefully one day, the justice system will also do better.
