The Bauchi State Chief Judge, Justice Rabi Talatu Umar has
released a total number of 29 inmates during her 2019 first and
second quarter jail delivery exercise in the State.

Prisons in the State and two other Satellite Prisons where she
reviewed cases of awaiting trial inmates with minor offences and

diaries of suspects with capital charges from the police and the
State Ministry for Justice. She urged the two agencies to work hand
in hand with a view to ensuring speedy dispensation of Justice. The

who have stayed for over five years without trial as their case
diaries could not be duplicated by the Police and their files could
not be found with the State Department of Public Prosecution.

While the State Chief Judge commended some Magistrates and
Sharia Court judges in the State for their diligence towards
effective dispensation of Justice, She however frowned at others
and summoned three of them to her office for obvious
irregularities.

In his remarks, the Controller of Prisons Bauchi State Command,
Suleiman T. Suleiman, commended the Chief Judge for carrying out
the exercise adding that it will go a long way in decongesting
Prisons in the State.

Jama’are Prison, 13 from Bauchi Prison, Misau 2, Azare 2, Alkaleri
4, Ningi 1 and Zaki 1 respectively, making a total number of
