The Gombe State Criminal Justice and Inquiry Committee under the state’s Chief Judge, Halima Mohammed, on Monday, released 85 inmates from Gombe and Billiri custodial centres in the state.

The release is coming after the committee visited four custodial centres in the state between Tuesday and Friday to review the cases at the centres.

The centres are Gombe, Billiri, Cham and Tula.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 42 inmates were released unconditionally from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Gombe, while three were released from the custodial centre in Billiri.

Also, 38 inmates were released with conditions attached from the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Gombe and two were from the Billiri centre.

During the visits, the chief judge highlighted the committee’s efforts in decongesting the custodial centres and ensuring the welfare of inmates.

Mohammed, who is also the Chairperson of the committee, addressed inmates and explained that the committee’s mission was to review minor cases involving those awaiting trials.

She said that the essence of the committee’s visit was to identify inmates eligible for bail or unconditional release, while stating that those already convicted should be patient and serve their jail terms.

She noted that only the governor holds the power to grant pardon based on good behaviour to those already convicted.

She urged the released inmates to turn a new leaf, saying “it won’t be good to be back here for any reason.

“You are expected to utilise this chance to impact your communities, and the state as a whole.”

Salihu Abdullahi, the Controller of Corrections, Gombe State Command, said the initiative was timely, given the number of inmates at the centres.

Abdullahi said the visit by the committee was important to the command, noting that it would give hope to the hopeless.

He added that the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Gombe, was built in 1919 to accommodate 379 inmates but now has 1,076 inmates.

He stated that out of the number, 628 were awaiting trials, while 344 were convicted, while 101 on death row.

He said that the facility is congested, which is contrary to the Correctional Service Act of 2019.

NAN reports that in February 2025, no fewer than 100 inmates across six custodial facilities in Gombe State were trained in various vocational skills to aid their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

The empowerment initiative was initiated and supported by Justice Mohammed, in collaboration with the Nigerian Correctional Services, Gombe State Command.(NAN)
