A Benue State indigene, Mary Onah, who gave birth while in custody at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos, has regained her freedom and reunited with her family after spending several months in detention.
Onah, from Oju Local Government Area of Benue State, was reportedly abandoned throughout her incarceration. Her employer allegedly absconded, while her husband and family were said to lack the financial capacity to pursue the case. She was said to have received no visits during her time in custody.
Following her release, arrangements were made on Monday for her journey from Lagos to Benue State. The trip, however, was fraught with challenges as the vehicle conveying her reportedly broke down several times, forcing her to spend nights on the road with her infant amid harsh weather conditions.
Despite the ordeal, she arrived safely in Benue State and was reunited with her family.
The development has reignited calls for greater attention to the welfare of indigent detainees, particularly women and children, within Nigeria’s correctional system.
