custodial centre have demanded that relatives of inmates who died during the April 1 violent protest at the centre must sign an undertaking absolving the authorities of being responsible for the deaths.
The undertaking reads in part; “On behalf of the family of the above named inmate , we are pleading with the Nigerian Correctional Service to release his body to me for burial, and that we don’t have anything against the Nigerian Correctional Service about his death.This is happening despite the fact that the report of the probe panel, theclaimed it set up to investigate the fatal protest, is yet to be submitted.
But rather than giving details of the dead inmates, a statement signed by the controller of Kaduna State correctional headquarters, Sanusi Danmusa, said those who died as a result of injuries sustained from the incident were condemned inmates and not those awaiting trial. According to his sister, Doris Felix, Mr Sadangi called her one morning with a brief introduction of who he was and said, “If you are interested in Wisdom Felix’s body, you need to come for it.”
The day the prison officials visited the address in the inmate’s records, Doris said, since they had relocated from the area, she had to let her fiancé, Ahmed Usman, who still lives in the area, to meet the officials in front of Nevilla hotel on Constitution road, near Kigo Road in Kaduna.
“But if you authorise to collect the body, I can call him tomorrow so that he can come over and he would sign, then we would go to high court for affidavit. Do you want to bury him here or you are taking him to Cross River?” According to the victim’s eldest sister, Doris, though they are from Cross River State, they have stayed for a very long time in Kaduna.
