correctional centres within their reach to exercise their powers under the Correctional Service Act 2019, section 12 to decongest the centres so as to curb the spread of Coronavirus.
Speaking today in Bauchi while describing the directive as a welcome development, Sabka noted that reports indicated that the awaiting trial inmates accounts for 70 percent of the detainees in Nigeria’s correctional centres. “It was also reported that Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola who gave the directive on behalf of the President said the move is to prevent the ravaging coronavirus from spreading into the correctional centres”. Sabka pointed out.

Most are awaiting trials anyway, gross injustice et al.
