“Delivering the approval on behalf of the Governor, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr Musa Adamu, charged the released inmates to be of good conduct and law-abiding citizens,” Sani said.

He said the inmates were released from Dutse, Kazaure, Kiyawa, Birninkudu, Gumel, Hadejia, Jahuh, Gwaram, Garki, Babura and Ringim correctional facilities, while others were released from Kafinhausa reformatory home.
