Oluwadunsin Komolafe of Prisoners’ Rights Advocacy Initiative (PRAI) actively impacted on the success of the Lagos Public Interest Law Partnership (LPILP) week and the Informal Justice Court of the Aardschap Foundation, Netherlands.
The Informal Justice Court, which was piloted at the Ikoyi Custodial Center, trained 85 indigent on the Judicial processes through mock trials and role-plays. The inmates acted out their respective cases and took on different roles obtainable in a formal court setting. They gained legal knowledge, learned how to defend their cases in court, and explore alternative and innovative ways to navigate the Criminal Justice System. Oluwadunsin guided the inmates on their roles as Judges, Prosecution Counsel, Defence Counsel, Registrar, Witnesses, etc. She did impressively well and was commended by the inmates and organizers.
