She expressed her satisfaction over the good working relationship between the Nigerian Prisons Service and the State judiciary.

She also disclosed that before the end of 2017, she would visit the prisons in the state as her 3rd quarter jail delivery exercise.

Earlier in his remarks, the Controller of Prisons Bauchi State Command, CP Sulaiman T Sulaiman, stated that the purpose for his visit was to introduce himself to the Chief Judge having assumed duty recently in the state.

Sulaiman said there were ten inmates with cases of amputation and six others on death row by stoning languishing in the prisons for more than a decade.

He noted that he had since written to the Bauchi State governor calling his attention to the plight of the affected inmates.

He said he had the hope that their cases would soon be determined.

Sulaiman praised the Chief Judge for her frequent visits to prisons in the state through the administration of Criminal Justice Committee.

He noted that the committee was helping the prisons towards decongestion.
