In a statement by the Controller General of Corrections Ja’afaru Ahmed, the action is necessary to enhance access to justice and also to facilitate the administration of criminal Justice in the Country.

Ja’afaru further stated that there are guidelines for the reopening of the Custodial Centres which all State Controllers and Officers In-Charge are directed to adhere strictly to.

c. The State Controllers are to avail the Judges in their various states the list of the designated Custodial Centres
d. All newly admitted inmates are to be isolated for the mandatory period of 14 days;

f. A confirmatory test after the 14 days should be conducted on all the inmates at the isolation units:

The statement equally states that Staff members have undergone fundamental/ basic training before being deployed to isolation unit and only legal counsels are allowed visit to the inmates, all procedures and protocols of COVID-19 screening are to be strictly observed.
