He denied that the action was in reprisal to Emejulu’s demolition of the airport fence being constructed as part of the airport rehabilitation.

Emejulu had on Wednesday executed an order of court at the disputed airport land to take back his 400 plots he said he bought from Nike Community in 2008.

Minister for Aviation, Hadi Sirika who inspected the demolition on Thursday, had decried Emejulu’s actions.

Also, Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi had on Thursday vowed to send a strong message to Emejulu for allegedly daring the state government by demolishing the airport fence.

COVID-19: FG Moves To Decongest Nigerian Correctional Service C Chinwe Maduagwu to me, Victoria 28 minutes agoDetails COVID-19: FG Moves To Decongest Nigerian Correctional Service Byline: Next Edition Category: Top News Pic: Buhari The Federal Government has taken bold steps to further decongest the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) formations as a measure to curb the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has said. Malami said that President Muhamadu Buhari has been mindful of the need to decongest prisons with particular regards to the fact that around 79 per cent of the inmates of the NCS were awaiting trial. Malami made this known in a statement by Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, His Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations on Friday. He recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had constituted the Presidential Committee for the decongestion of the Correctional Centres across the country. He said the Committee which is coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Justice, has recorded great success. Malami said the Committee comprised of the Minister of Interior, Attorney-General of the Federation, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Decongestion of Correctional Service . Centres; the Chief Justice of the FCT and the Comptroller-General of the NCD in order to reconsider what measures could be put in place for decongestion of Correctional Service Centres in view of the present health challenges. He said the Committee recommended that Courts, Federal Ministry of Justice, the Correctional Service Formations, Governors, Attorney-Generals of States, among others be encouraged to intensify actions to ensure that the Correctional Service formations are not further congested taking into consideration the prevailing health challenges associated with Covid- 19. The Committee requested that Mr. President may wish to consider his powers of Prerogative of Mercy in speeding of decongestion, while Governors of States and their CJs be encouraged to visit correctional service formations for the purpose of decongestion. The Committee is of the view that the Federal Executive Council and the State Governments be encouraged to consider payment of fines in respect of minor offences for those categories of inmates that could not afford paying of same in respect of offences that attract fines arising from the convictions. Part of the resolutions were also that Correctional Service should, as well, consider the possibility of moving inmates from congested Correctional Service Formations to Centres that are less congested and have space for accommodation of inmates, among others. By way of long term measures, the possibility of amending the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by way of considering an amendment that will move the Correctional Service formations from Exclusive to Concurrent Legislative List among others is equally considered. The categories of inmates that will be considered most are those that stayed in Correctional Service Centres for a period above ten years, those that stayed as inmate for a longer period without any documentation relating to their detention, those that have the option of fine, those that have been in the Centers on holding charges in respect of offences that the Magistrates that sent them to Correctional Service Formations do not have the jurisdiction to try the cases, among others, but excluding those inmates serving jail terms for capital offences such as murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape and treason among others.
