Daily Trust reported that, Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, have been tutored on how to live in a prison. Saraki and Ekweremadu, are standing trial over alleged forging of the Senate Rules book.
It was gathered that Sen. Shehu Sani, who spent four years in various prisons across the country during the era of late Gen. Sani Abacha, tutored the Senate leaders at the Court during their forgery case.
A Senator who was present, said Sani lectured them when Justice Yusuf Halilu stood down the forgery suit for one hour.
His words:
“Sani came and lectured the presiding officers on life in the prison. He told them that in the prison there is ranking rule like at the National Assembly. .
He advised them to cooperate with the Governor in the prison. He said after registration, they will be given plates for meals. Sani also told them that they are going to share toilet, bathroom with other inmates and that it is the Governor of the prison that will allocate bed space to them.”
When contacted on phone, Sani confirmed lecturing the presiding officers on prison, saying:
“Yes, is anything bad in what I did? They are my colleagues and as a former inmate, I felt I should educate them on how to live in the prison, so that they will not be caught unaware.”
