Group Supports Female Prisoners in Bauchi
The Carmelite Prisoners’ Interest Organization (CAPIO), a non
governmental organization has visited Bauchi State as part of its
continued efforts to see to the implementation of the gender
sensitive approach in various women prisons in the country.
While addressing the Controller of Prisons Bauchi State Command,
the Executive Director CAPIO, Rev.Fr. Ambrose Ekeroku noted that
Bauchi is one of the Six voice States selected for the
implementation of the gender sensitive approach.
He added that CAPIO in conjunction with the Prison Inmates
Development Initiative (PIDI) had in January this year organized a
training workshop for Prison officers, particularly Female officers
as a way of imparting knowledge to Officers in the Prisons Training
Schools and the Officers in-Charge of female Prisons. The officers
are expected to step- down the knowledge to other officers as a way
of sustaining the project.
Rev.Fr. Ambrose thanked the Controller of Prisons Bauchi State
Command for his reception and implored him to give the organization
his maximum support in order to ensure that the dignity and human
rights of women in Prisons are respected..
Responding, CP Suleiman T. Suleiman expressed satisfaction for
choosing Bauchi to be part of the pilot states for test running the
project. He assured them of his support for the successful
implementation of the project in all the Prison formations in
Bauchi State.
