President Muhammadu Buhari has directed state
governors across the country to ensure the
reduction of the number of prison inmates in their
various states.
Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir el-Rufai,
who disclosed this while on a working visit to
the Kaduna convict prison, said the president’s
directive was in the spirit of decongesting the
prisons across the country.
El-Rufai said, “Our leader, President Muhammadu
Buhari, has directed all governors to visit prisons
and ensure that we reduce to the barest minimum
those that have spent many years awaiting trial
in our courts.
“It is injustice for a person to be kept for a long
time in the name of awaiting trial. This is why
President Buhari directed all governors to
undertake such visits so that, working together
with the Ministry of Justices and the Prison
authorities, we’ll ensure we do something about
it.”
He assured that the state government, despite its
financial challenges, would do its best to ensure
that the people prison for wrong reasons and are
awaiting trial get justice.
Receiving the governor, the state controller of
prison, Mr. Abubakar Garba, noted that the
convict prison, established in 1915 with the
capacity of 547, is now housing over 1,000
inmates.
Disclosing that about 114 inmates were
condemned criminals, with 11 of them citizens of
Kaduna State, he appealed to the governor to
commute the death sentences of 11 inmates of
Kaduna State origin to life imprisonment. He also
revealed that the prison had only two functional
vans for conveying about 800 awaiting trial
inmates, which he said, portends danger to
people of the state.
