Lamboginny Releases “Kirikiri Don Full” Music Video

Pop artist and prison reform advocate Yinka Lawanson aka Lamboginny has released the visuals for his
activist single “Kirikiri Don Full.” The video, released on September 17, 2019 brings to life the message of
the song, which draws attention to the deplorable state of prisons in Nigeria and the lack of justice that
characterizes the experiences of prison inmates.
“Kirikiri Don Full” is the first single off Lamboginny’s forthcoming EP “240,” which is slated for release in
October. The album name was inspired by the total number of prisons in Nigeria (240), and as part of
the launch project, Lamboginny is working to obtain freedom for 240 inmates languishing in prison over
minor offenses because they cannot afford bail or a lawyer.
Speaking ahead of the video launch, Lamboginny said:
“The song talks about the congested state of prisons in Nigeria where nearly 70% of inmates have not
actually been convicted of anything, and we depicted this in the video. In terms of the wider 240 project,
we secured the freedom of 15 inmates at Kirikiri in July 2019 and we are getting another five from Suleja
Prison in Abuja on 18th September 2019. The issue of decongesting prisons that we have taken on goes
to the heart of the reforms that are needed in Nigeria’s prisons and criminal justice system.”
It will be recalled that Lamboginny recently made an appearance at the UN Summit in New York dressed
in orange prison overalls and handcuffed to make a public statement about overcrowded Nigerian
prisons.
