exercise shall start at 10 o’clock in the morning at Onitsha prison on
1st June; Aguata prison on 3rd June; while that of Awka prison holds

Justice Umeadi added that the tour was in-line with judicial powers
invested on him as the State Chief Judge, stressing that some
detainees may gain justice but in accordance to the established law
and degree of the offences committed.
