Over 800 Nigerians are currently serving various jail terms in Togo prisons, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, Nnena Ukeje has revealed.
According to Ukeje: "This is the problem. As at two weeks ago, we got report of about 800 Nigerians in prisons in Togo, much more in China .
"The only one country that we have a clear-cut inventory is the United Kingdom , where we have a bill that will go to aid with prisoner-exchange.
"Of course, the National Assembly in the last session, discussed on how Nigerians in prisons in other countries can come back to Nigeria. Now, in the UK, we have a total figure of Nigerians who are in UK prisons.
"I know in Togo, it is about 800; in China, I read in the papers of the number being high.
