The Nigeria Correctional Service has reversed its earlier position by admitting inmates of its facility in Kaduna died during a protest on Tuesday.

The admission came after PREMIUM TIMES exclusively reported that five inmates were killed during the fracas.It, however, did not give the details of the victims. Instead, the centre’s management said all four victims were condemned inmates.

However, on Friday, when confronted with the details of inmates reportedly killed by security operatives, the deputy controller of the custodial centre in Kaduna, Ahmed Usman, asked our reporter for the details of his source. A statement issued on Saturday evening and signed by the controller of corrections, Kaduna State command, Sanusi Danmusa, said its attention had been drawn to malicious publications “by a section of the media.”
