Katsina Chief Judge grants bail to 103 inmates, discharges others

The Chief Judge of Katsina State, Justice Musa Danladi, has granted bail to 103 inmates and discharged three others on health grounds, prolonged detention, age, and good conduct while in custody.

The exercise, conducted on Wednesday was part of the first quarter of the 2025 jail delivery initiative aimed at decongesting correctional facilities in the state.

Justice Danladi delegated High Court Judge, Justice A.B. Bawale, to oversee the process at the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Katsina New.

During the first phase of the initiative at the Medium Security Custodial Centre last week, 91 inmates were granted bail, while four were released.

Commending the efforts of correctional officers, Justice Danladi praised the Katsina Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service, urging them to maintain their commitment to service delivery.

“This command is among the best in Nigeria in terms of service delivery,”; he said.

The Controller of Corrections, Katsina State Command, Umar Baba, speaking on behalf of the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Sylvester Nwakuche, expressed gratitude to the judiciary for its continuous support.

He emphasized that the intervention was timely, reaffirming that the judiciary remains the last hope of the common man.

Baba also appreciated the Chief Judge for not only granting bail and pardons but also providing welfare packages and relief items to the inmates.

“I urge the freed inmates to stay out of trouble, desist from crime, and make good use of the skills they have acquired while in custody,”; he added.
