The Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Ishaq Bello, on Thursday urged judges to grant bail to robbery suspects and also soften bail conditions when possible.
Mr. Bello stated this while freeing 24 inmates on health and age grounds from the Kuje Prisons.
Among the inmates discharged by the CJ on the grounds of age was Abubakar Bello, a retired police officer, who had been in detention since 1999 on a life sentence for culpable homicide.
Mr. Bello said there was a panel of judges set to look into some cases of the inmates in order to accelerate hearing of their cases.
