Revealed: Over 800 Nigerians Are Languishing In Togolese Prisons

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.
