LAGOS – The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, yesterday, commended the recent kind gesture of the Lagos Chief Judge, Justice Ayotunde Philips when she released over 200 inmates from Kirikiri Prisons.

Making the remarks during a special prayer session for lawyers, particularly those still in active service and all judicial workers from across the country at the RCCG national headquarters, at Ebute-Meta in Lagos, Adeboye said the chief judge's exercise was a step to de-congest prisons as well as an avenue for innocent inmates awaiting trial to regain their freedom.

Lamenting that some of the freed inmates had stayed for over 12 years in custody awaiting trial, Pastor Adeboye used the occasion to call on the Federal Government to sort out better ways of rehabilitating prisoners and arrest delay in justice dispensation, saying Nigerian prison system harden majority of the prisoners instead of making them better citizens.
