As part of measures to decongest the correctional facilities across the country to curb the spread of the corona virus pandemic, Rivers State Chief Judge Justice Iyayi Adama Laminkara has released 62 Inmates including 1 Female, with minor offences from Degema, Ahoada and Port Harcourt Maximum Security Custodial Centres in the state.

While addressing the released inmates, Justice Laminkara stated that they should go home, stay safe and stay away from crime.

The beneficiaries were also given cash tokens for transportation to their various destinations.

The Controller of Corrections, Olumide Tinuoye appreciated the Governor, Barrister Nyesom Wike, the Chief Judge and her team for decongesting the Custodial Centres and for the token given to the beneficiaries to transport themselves to their various homes.

He also mentioned that the Governor had this month granted unconditional pardon of two long term convicts serving life imprisonment in the state.

The Controller later handed a copy of the Nigerian Correctional Act 2019 to the Chief Judge and as well introduced the officer in charge non Custodial in the state. He urged the judiciary to consider the use of non Custodial measures for minor offences now that the Nigerian Correctional Service is willing and ready with men and means to fully enforce community sentencing.

Earlier in the week, 5 inmates serving federal Offences were released from the various Custodial Centres.
