Mosunmola Dipeolu, chief judge of Ogun, has granted pardon to 49 inmates as part of efforts to decongest correctional facilities in the state.
31 inmates were released from the Oba Correctional Centre, 15 from Ibara, and three from Ilaro, bringing the total number of inmates granted amnesty to 49.Advertisement“The conditions here at the correctional centre have not improved. It is evident that overcrowding is rampant, even without official statistics.
“We cannot ignore the plight of those awaiting trial, many of whom have been incarcerated for years without conviction,” she said.
