“We Will Devise Strategies To Decongest The Prisons In 6 months”- Aregbesola Promises

The target is to decongest the prisons within six months

“In no distant future, we will reduce the issue of awaiting trial considerably; as we are also working with the governors on that.

“Close to 90 per cent of the awaiting trial inmates are violators of state laws and so are essentially the responsibility of the various state governments.

“So, we need to carry them along in devising strategies to decongest the facilities. In six months, this will be put behind us.”
