Multiple sources at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja have alleged that officials at the facility are discussing plans to target human rights activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore, should he be remanded there following reports that his bail has been revoked.
The development comes after SaharaReporters exclusively reported the death of a Rwandan national identified as Benjamin Relasss while in custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre, prompting an investigation by a panel dispatched from the Nigeria Correctional Service headquarters in Abuja.
Multiple sources told SaharaReporters that shortly after the report was published, officials at the facility convened an emergency meeting to discuss the growing public attention surrounding conditions inside the prison.
According to the sources, the meeting focused on the death of the Rwandan inmate, the condition of another critically ill inmate who had recently been transferred to a hospital, and concerns over information being leaked from inside the facility.
