Bauchi Government Frees 14 Inmates For Lack Of Records After Years Of Awaiting Trial | Sahara Reporters

At least 14 inmates awaiting trial for years have been freed in Bauchi State, SaharaReporters can report.

The inmates were reportedly languishing in prison without trial due to lack of records on why they were incarcerated. Umar said the inmates had never been presented in courts for trial, which was why there were no records; as such they had to be freed. The released inmates were from Darazo, Tafawa Balewa, Misau, Azare, Bogoro, Ningi, Jama’are and Bauchi local government areas.

“We don’t know who brought them here”, the chief judge said, stressing that some inmates’ complainants could not be traced as their litigation records were completely out of sight.

They should better free the whole prisoners in Nigeria. If repented bolo haram can be free, why hold anyone in prison. They should be rehabilitated and released. So we the owners can flea the country

Nigerian justice system is in shambles
