The Chief Judge of Ogun State, Justice Mosunmola Dipeolu, has ordered the immediate release of 249 prisoners from five correctional centres across the state.
The Chief Judge said the release of the inmates was based on the Federal Government’s decision to decongest correctional centres to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Dipeolu disclosed that those released were men and women with cases ranging from stealing, burglary, assault to bodily harm and other minor cases.
She noted that the decongestion would improve social distancing measures, thereby reducing the spread of the virus at the correctional centres.
Dipeolu said the release was imperative to prevent the inmates from contracting coronavirus.
She said, “Some inmates awaiting trial that ought not to remain in custody where matters for which they were charged for was not murder or armed robbery were also considered.”
