Christina Edward Balanso from NUSK Law Clinic: Reflection

 
 
I am by name Christina Edward Balanso,a 500level student of the Nasarawa State University,Nasarawa State. My personal reflection on this project is how some inmates who are detained without just cause and without any legal representation stay there for almost or over a year.Some lawyers according to the inmates refused to help them because they are not financially buoyant and thus left them there to stay.
 
On the case I handled with my partner, Maryam a 400 level student,(Idris Inusa & 2 ors)I learnt that due to the lack of legal representation for the accused it led to the accused persons confessing and admitting to the offence of armed robbery instead of the offence of theft which they were charged with.
