The House of Representatives has called on the federal government to secure the release of Nigerians said to be illegally detained in prisons abroad.<\/p>\n

According to lawmakers,\u00a0thousands of Nigerians have been convicted abroad without legal representation.<\/p>\n

Former Edo commissioner for arts, culture and tourism and diaspora affairs, Osaze Osemwengie-Ero in July said 300 Nigerian youths are illegally detained in Italian prisons.<\/p>\n

The ex-commissioner, who was arrested and detained in 2019, said he was a victim of racial discrimination and manipulation<\/a> of the Italian justice system.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the floor of the green chamber on Thursday, Dennis Idahosa, a lawmaker from Edo state, said international conventions and treaties prescribe that anyone charged with a criminal offence is entitled to fair hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal.<\/p>\n

Citing a 2019 report by the Legal Defence and Assistance Project (LEPAD), the lawmaker said about 16,500 Nigerians are in foreign prisons \u201cwithout legal representation and not knowing why they are in jail\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said the situation requires urgent intervention as \u201cmany Nigerians are languishing in foreign prisons, some of whom are being illegally detained, while some are exposed to labour exploitation, poor living conditions, discrimination, sexual exploitation and other forms of dehumanising treatments\u201d.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker added that the situation has impacted Nigeria\u2019s economy negatively.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe World Bank estimated remittances of around 24.3 billion per year and six percent of the country\u2019s GDP, thereby making Nigeria one of the highest-ranking countries of the world in remittances inflow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Idahosa added that remittances have significant impact on the \u201cdevelopment and economic growth of the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

The motion sponsored by Idahosa was unanimously adopted after it was put to a voice by Idris Wase, deputy speaker of the house.<\/p>\n

The lower legislative chamber mandated its committees on foreign affairs, justice, and inter-parliamentary relations to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
