Seven inmates at Medium Security Custodial Centre, Nnewi have regained freedom as Anambra State Chief Judge, Justice Onochie Anyachebelu, visited the facility in continuation of his jail delivery exercise, which is part of activities lined up for 2023/2024 legal year.
They include Okechukwu Okafor, Chidera Agu, Charles Chime, Oluchukwu Mmadu, Ifechukwu Mbaojiriude, Tochukwu Ndiogulu and Cyril Nwaolisa.
Justice Anyachebelu equally granted bail and reviewed bail conditions of other inmates, and ordered that their trial continue at the regular court.
He remarked that some people are justifiably detained in custodial facilities while others are not, adding that the jail delivery exercise is a way of addressing observed lapses in criminal justice administration, including incidents of missing case files.Â
Counsel to some of the beneficiaries of the jail delivery exercise, Reverend Barrister Lotanna Ogbuchukwu while commending the Anambra Chief Judge on the exercise, advised his clients and others to become changed persons and avoid things that bring people to prison custody, as well as use the skills they have acquired to better their lives.
