The Federal Government has settled N52m in fines and compensation for 399 inmates at various correctional centres across Kaduna State as part of its efforts to decongest the centres.
The Comptroller of Correctional Service, Kaduna State, Dr Ado Saleh, disclosed this during the inauguration of the initiative at Zaria on Monday.
He said that 110 inmates were earlier released at Kaduna, adding that the ceremony in Zaria was a continuation of the programme that was designed and implemented by the Federal Government.
