Nigerian inmates at AbaSamuel Prisons in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, have expressed excitement following the signing of a bilateral Prisoner Transfer Agreement between Nigeria and Ethiopia.
The agreement, facilitated by the Federal Government through the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Ojukwu, will allow eligible Nigerian prisoners serving sentences in Ethiopia to be transferred home to complete their custodial terms.
The prisoners celebrated the development, which paves the way for their eventual repatriation to Nigeria to serve the remainder of their sentences closer to home.
The inmates, who welcomed the development, thanked President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government for prioritising the welfare of Nigerians abroad.
