The Nigerian Correctional Service, (NCoS) FCT Command, has confirmed the death of an inmate of Kuje Custodial Centre, after a protracted illness.

This is contained in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Chukwuedo Humphrey, on Monday in Abuja.

Humphrey said that the inmate was admitted into Kuje custodial centre in 2019 and upon mandatory medical examination, he was diagnosed of some chronic ailments.

He said that the inmate was immediately placed on special medical management by a combined team of medical personnel in the facility.

This, he said, was as well as occasional referrals to the University of Abuja Teaching hospital, Gwagwalada, when necessary.

“Unfortunately, when the inmate’s health deteriorated over the weekend, all efforts by the medical personnel to resuscitate him failed.

“A peaceful prayer session is being organised by the staffers and fellow inmates of the deceased for the repose of his soul, ” he said.

Humphrey quoted the Controller of the command, Ahmed Musa, as expressing his condolences to the family and friends of the late inmate.

Musa reinstated his commitment to putting the health and general welfare of inmates and staffers as topmost priorities.

He further advised those on special medical attention to ensure strict adherence to expert instructions to overcome health challenges since drugs were available to them at no cost. 

He, however, did not make any comment on reports of alleged riots by inmates on the claimed negligence of the Correctional Center’s officials, leading to the death of the inmate.(NAN).
