Katsina chief judge frees 95 inmates in jail delivery initiative

The Chief Judge of Katsina State, Justice Musa Danladi, has granted bail to 91 inmates.

He also completely discharged four others during the first-quarter jail delivery exercise for 2025 at the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Katsina.

Speaking at the event on March 20, 2025, Justice Danladi explained that the Sub-Committee on Decongestion of Correctional Centres carefully assessed the cases before recommending the inmates for release.

Factors considered included age, length of time spent in custody, and medical conditions.

He further announced that going forward, the personal details and photographs of released inmates would be officially recorded to ensure proper documentation and accountability.

Addressing the freed individuals, he urged them to stay on the right side of the law, emphasizing that another chance at clemency might not be available if they reoffend.

The Katsina State Controller of Corrections, CC Umar Baba, praised the initiative, stating that such interventions ease congestion, improve prison conditions, and support rehabilitation efforts.

He also called on judges and magistrates to consider alternative sentencing options to prevent unnecessary detentions and allow correctional facilities to focus on reforming and reintegrating offenders into society.
