TWO teenagers were among six inmates granted bail at the Correctional Centre, Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria, on Friday.
Stonix News reports that the two teenagers at the Remand Home in Sapele were granted bail during the working visit of the Chief Judge of Delta State, Justice Theresa Diai, paid to both institutions.
At the correctional centre, 212 cases were looked into and at the end of the day, four inmates were set free.
They included Oghenevwegba Moses, Onoriode Ibru, and Adams Junior Ufuoma.
One of the freed inmates, Onoriode Ibru, said it was the death of a visitor, who visited him and drank ‘sniper’ (a poisonous insecticide) at his place that brought him to the correctional centre.
At the Remand Home, 10 cases of children, within the ages of 14 and 17 years, were treated.
Two of the children were granted bail at the end of the day. Their cases are to continue at Agbor and Asaba.
The children granted bail were Chiemere Nneje and Israel Libor who hails from Okwe and Ibusa, respectively.
The Chief Judge noted that, after children were brought for trial and remanded, there was hardly any follow-up, making the children to remain at the remand home for months.
Justice Diai admonished the freed inmates to be of good conduct as they go back to the society.
She equally promised to take another look at cases that could not be concluded on Friday.
