The chief judge (CJ) of Kwara State, Justice Abiodun Adebara has set free three inmates of the Custodial Centres in Ilorin and Mandala.
Adebara after reviewing the case files of inmates at the Custodial Centresduring a routine visit to the facilities, released the three inmates.
The chief judge noted that the custodial centres in the state are overcrowded, adding that it falls within his constitutional rights to perform jail delivery which allows him to look into cases that have stayed long in court, inmates with terminal illness and minor offences which community service can take care of.
He promised to make visitation to the custodial centres for jail delivery a continuous exercise.
He admonished the released inmates to shun crime, thanking the authority of the Correctional Service for their support in providing enabling environment during and after the exercise.
The state Controller of Correctional Centre, Danmairomu Ayodeji, applauded the chief judge and members of his entourage for the visit.
He urged the released inmates to be of good conduct and not to go back to crime.
