He, however, stated that apart from the commitment to improving their well-being, he would also address some of the logistic issues the custodial centre is confronted with.

Identifying the position of the custodial centres in shaping the attitude of inmates, Chief Judge of Nasarawa State, Justice Aisha Bashir Aliyu, explained that the judiciary will continue to do its best in ensuring the custodial centres in the state are not overcrowded.

On his part, the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Labaran Magaji, stated that the amnesty granted the twelve inmates was in line with the constitutional provision that allows the state committee on prerogative of mercy to work towards the freedom of the twelve inmates serving various jail terms.

Earlier, Controller of the Centres, Godwin Ochekpa, added that the presence of Governor Abdullahi Sule who’s visit coincides with the 64th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence left him honoured in the governor’s concern to the well-being of the inmates as well as the improved services at the custodial centres in the state.

Meanwhile, Governor Abdullahi Sule used the medium to register his heartfelt sympathy for special forces following the death of some soldiers in the course of their duty in the state.
