The Chief Judge of Delta State, Justice Tessy Diai, has granted bail to 48-year-old David Olori, an inmate of Kwale Custodial Centre, diagnosed with liver and suspected kidney failure on health grounds.
Justice Diai noted that given his prevailing health condition, he was not strong enough to stand trial.
The Chief judge (CJ) also ordered the state’s Chief Registrar to arrange three months financial assistance for medication of the inmate, who has been in custody since December 2022, on a murder charge.
A nurse attached to the centre, said Olori was diagnosed with suspected kidney failure at the Central Hospital and required further investigation and treatment at Asaba Specialist Hospital.
The nurse told the Chief Judge that it had been difficult to take care of David Olori in terms of changing pampers and other issues. Justice Diai was accompanied by Justices G. B. Briki-Okolosi, K. O. Okpu, F. O.Enemo and E. O.Odebala during his visit to the centre.
She said the purpose of the jail delivery exercise was not to throw the prison gates open for inmates.
The CJ applauded the state governor for prompt assistance to custodial centres across the state, reiterating that custodial centres were under the Exclusive list of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 ( as amended ), and not the responsibility of the state.
On the challenges experienced by authority of custodial centres across the state in producing inmates to courts due to lack of adequate vehicles, the CJ disclosed that the attention of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has been drawn to the issue of lack of utility vehicles to ease their work and the Governor has made a promise to that effect.
