Chief Judge Frees 56 Awaiting Trial Inmates in
Anambra
The Chief Judge of Anambra State Justice Ijem Onwuamaegbu has
visited the four prisons in the state in exercise of the powers
conferred on her to conduct gaol delivery exercise.
The exercise which took her four days to complete, saw her
discharging twenty-one(21) deserving inmates and admitted
thirty-five(35) others to bail in the most liberal terms.
Briefing newsmen at the end of the exercise in Awka Prison where
seventeen persons received their freedom from custody, the Chief
Judge thanked all her brother Judges, magistrates the Prisons,
police and the media for their assistance in ensuring that the mid
year exercise was a huge success.
Onwuamaegbu applauded the records department of the prisons
especially that of Awka prison for their ingenuity in making sure
that an inmate whose lawyer subtly forged information on his
release order was detected and brought to the court’s knowledge.
She admonished the released inmates to be good citizens and to
refrain from anything that will bring them back to the prison as
inmates.
The Controller of Prisons Barr. Nwakeze Emmanuel thanked the
Chief Judge for her assistance in the decongestion of the
prisons.
