The tales coming from some in-mates of Kirikiri Prisons, just released by the Lagos State Chief judge, Justice Ayotunde Philips, are heart touching.
One of the inmate freed by the Lagos CJ, 49 year old Elizabeth Sampson, narrated her own story of how she got into prison for hearing a strange voice which ordered her to go and burn her own blood brother to death.
Sampson, who was tearful, while narrating her story, said she could not explain how it happened as all she could say was that she heard a voice and obeyed the voice until she was shown pictures of what happened to her late brother, Mr. Isaac, apparently murdered.
According to the woman, who had been in Kirikiri since 2010, she only followed the voice until when she was taken to the prisons.
The former inmate said she learnt so many things in jail which she could use to lead a good life. One of the prison warders kept saying she was going to miss one freed inmate simply identified as Elizabeth because she was a very good teacher.
