  • NCS logistical issues are causing many awaiting trial convicts to linger in custody beyond their regular stay.

  •  The lack of functional vehicles to transport detainees to court is a major challenge.

  • Some prisons rely on a single vehicle to convey hundreds of inmates to multiple courts.

“Many of the awaiting trial inmates are staying longer than expected because they could not go to court whenever their matters come up,” the source added.

Lola Wey, a human rights advocate, has called on the federal government to investigate the logistics of detention facilities and repair damaged vehicles.
