“Current economic situation has made it difficult to provide decent meals for inmates” – Nigerian Correctional Service
The Deputy Comptroller of Corrections of the custodial facility in Suleja, Niger State, Ibrahim Yau, has revealed that the harsh economic situation is making it difficult to provide decent meals to inmates under their custody.
Yau disclosed this in a statement during a visit by officials of the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria to the facility as part of efforts to improve the conditions of inmates and provide free legal services.
The Deputy Comptroller lamented the poor daily feeding allowance which he said is insufficient to provide decent meals for the inmates.
He added that the centre’s capacity of 250 inmates had been stretched to 405.
He also praised NGOs for their assistance to the custodial centres because he believed the Nigerian government lacked the power to singlehandedly carter to the welfare of the inmates.
