The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola on Thursday presented to the public, a 3000 Capacity Maximum Security Custodial Centre of the Nigerian Correctional Service in Karshi, Abuja.
Aregbesola said about 250 Custodial Facilities we have in Nigeria are inadequate to house the over 74,000 inmates in custody hence the construction of these Maximum Security Custodial Centres in each of the six Geo-Political Zones of the country.
He hinted that the facility will include at least 5 courts for proper dispensation of justice. The facility will also help reduce overcrowding since an inmate must be physically comfortable – decently housed, well fed and in good health.
