On Wednesday, the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Oluwafunmilayo Atilade, released 10 inmates from the Ikoyi Prisons in Lagos.
The Chief Judge said the gesture was aimed at decongesting the prison, to ensure deserving inmates are made to breathe the fresh air of freedom.
Atilade admonished the freed inmates to be of good behaviour and make positive impacts in the society.
He said, "The prison currently holds 2,084 inmates. The number of convicted inmates are 210 while those awaiting trial are 1,874."
