The Ogun State Chief Judge, Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu, has, on Wednesday, set twenty six prison inmates free.
The state’s Chief Judge decided to free the awaiting trial detainees during a three day tour to the five prison formations across the three Senatorial Districts of Ogun state.
Justice Dipeolu said that the second quarter’s prisons jail delivery was aimed to decongest prison formations of inmates after reviewing their cases while inmates with no case files, medical factors amongst others reasons were discharged.
“The inmates were released with a view to decongest the prisons and the exercise is in accordance with the dictates of the law under the custody act. I want to appeal to the released inmates to be of good behaviour, so that they do not return to the prison,” Dipeolu said.
