Days after moving to Lagos, Babagana Aliyu was arrested.

He spent the next 8 years in prison, waiting for his case to be heard.

He is not alone.

68% of inmates in 🇳🇬 prisons are awaiting trial.

🎥 @josh_akinyemi @josh_akinyemi I wanted to do this story after a visit to Kiri Kiri a few years ago.

A handful of the inmates were wearing prison uniforms, most were in ordinary clothes.

It was my first time in a Naira prison so I assumed it was just Naija anyhowness or a budget issue.

So I asked a guard.

At Lagos International Airport and there is currently no power...and by the look of it NO GEN. Incredible scenes at the commercial capital of Nigeria’s international airport. NO ELECTRICITY. NO GENERATOR. NO EXPLANATION.

Passengers are waiting to get through immigration.
