The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has announced the commencement of an audit of inmates across the 256 Custodial Centres nationwide as part of efforts to alleviate overcrowding.
Tunji-Ojo made this disclosure following an inspection of the ongoing construction of a 3,000-capacity Maximum Security Custodial Centre in Janguza, Kano State, and the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Kuje, Abuja.
This initiative is a continuation of similar audits conducted previously in correctional facilities across the country.
Speaking during the inspection, the Minister emphasized the empirical and scientific approach adopted in the audit process, highlighting its potential to significantly reduce prison congestion. Tunji-Ojo also received three books authored by an inmate during the visit to the Kuje facility.
