The right to liberty is sacrosanct. In Nigeria, and in Africa generally, however, it is not uncommon for civil rights to be curtailed and even violated by law enforcement agencies under the guise of enforcing the law. This has led to the incarceration of citizens without due process. In many cases, the safeguards to liberty have been observed more in the breach than in compliance due to factors peculiar to the administration of national criminal justice systems. Prison Decongestion in Nigeria aims to discuss remand proceedings, the initial prevalence of the holding charge, and the new order, enshrined in Nigeria by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 and other relevant laws. A specialist and practitioner in Nigerian law, distinguished legal scholar Confidence Mbang argues that strict compliance with established procedure will reduce or eliminate civil rights violations in his country.

Confidence Mbang is a legal practitioner based in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. He is legal head of the firm Confidence Mbang Legal (CML) and founder of Morelaw, a legal services advisory in multiple aspects of law. A constitutional law and human rights enthusiast, Mr. Mbang is an associate of the Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC) and an appointee to the Special Envoy for West Africa with the International Human Rights Protection Service in the United States. Mr. Mbang has represented young people of the Abi/Yakurr Federal Constituency at the Niger Delta Youth Parliament (NDYP). He is an awardee of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies (CSLS), an Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) Ranger, and a member of the Citizens' Liberties Committee (CLC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
