15 prison inmates run mad in Abakaliki prison
The commission according to Leadership, disclosed on Sunday, October 30, that many children and their mothers have been languishing in the prisons for years for common offence which ordinarily shouldn’t have warranted their being taken to the prisons.
The executive secretary of the commission, professor Bem Angwe made disclosure at the government House, Abakaliki during a courtesy call on Governor David Umahi.
Mr. Angwe said the commission was in Abakaliki to probe the attempted jailbreak of August 18 this year in which many inmates reportedly lost
their lives. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has disclosed that more than 15 inmates awaiting trials in the Abakaliki federal prisons are already mad and require urgent medical attention.
