Hundreds
of Nigerian criminals will be sent home to serve out prison sentences
under a deal set to be struck by ministers within weeks. Talks
are continuing into reaching a compulsory prisoner transfer agreement,
which could see more than half of the 500 criminals from Nigeria
currently in UK jails repatriated.
David Cameron vowed to end the practice of the British taxpayer picking up the bill for criminals with no business in the UK. Britain
has even made clear it would pay to build new prisons in countries like
Nigeria to speed up the process of sending foreign criminals home. Up
to £1million has been promised to upgrade Nigerian jails, including a
new wing at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos
