Anambra: Soludo Reveals Plan For Prisoners

Newly elected governor of Anambra, Charles Soludo has opened up on his plans for prisoners in the state.

The governor stated on Monday that inmates in Anambra prisons will soon have access to news and events about Nigeria and the rest of the world.

This is coming after Soludo paid a visit to Ekwulobia Prison on Sunday.

Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) officials led him on a tour of the facility to see the present condition during his visit.

The governor explained that he had a chat with the inmates, wardens and assured them that a new system will be set up.

He said: “I also promise that every leaking roof and damaged infrastructure shall be renovated.

“We will also look into the long outstanding unavailability of power supply by providing solar devices and television sets where inmates can watch football, news, movies, religious activities and entertainment.”

Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has distanced itself from the recorded and leaked video of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Wille Obiano, in its custody.

Naija News had reported that a viral video of the former governor in an EFCC detention facility emerged online over the weekend following his arrest at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport, Lagos, last week. Read more
