Salaam!
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, I wish to quickly narrate a fellow brother’s experience at the maximum prison in Kirikiri on ‘eed day. They went on a visitation to celebrate the festive period with the inmates and I can summarise the below from his experience:
 The mosque there was built through the influence of Al-Mustapha and all the labour handled by the inmates, from the architectural design to the painting, tiling etc. It is the biggest mosque in any prison in Lagos state.
 The raw statistics given by a muslim brother there gives the percentage of muslim inmates as 85%. Only 5% remain as muslims while others have converted to Christianity.
 The condition of the muslim brothers and sisters is that of palpable abandon. They are in need of clothing, food and basic medications.
 Some are even awaiting trial but with no lawyer while others were fined but with no one to come to their rescue.
 There is a UNIMAID lecturer of mathematics (with some other brothers) in there on allegations of involvement in Boko Haram. They have been there since 2009 and are not even allowed to intermingle, not even in the mosque.
 The atmosphere was above all relaxed and they had food in abundance to eat and there were even renditions of ‘waka’ in show of gratitude to Allah for witnessing the end of Ramadaan.

It will be highly desirable if Islamic organisations can show more involvement towards alleviating the plights of these muslim inmates. e.g Lawyers can come together to render free legal services.
Nairaland muslim community is also not left out!
Let us remember the noble saying of the dearest of all before Allah: Whosoever relieves someone a hardship, Allah will relieve same for him/her on the day of resurrection.
