REPORT OF JAIL DELIVERY EXERCISE AT AFARA -UMUAHIA PRISONS BY THE CJ OF ABIA STATE - 25 JUNE 2014

On 25 June 2014, the ABSU Law Clinic Team led by Staff Clinician Barr. Emeka Okorafor attended the Afara-Umuahia Prisons for the Jail Delivery exercise of the Chief Judge of Abia State, Hon. Justice Oti. Some of the Clinic's clients  were among those who benefited from the Jail Delivery exercise. These included, Mr. John Bara, aged 25yrs-charged under sections 324 and 319 (CC) and remanded since 2006 who was granted bail by the Chief Judge because his trial was on-going. Ihendu Oso, 48 and Okafor Nwaonumah,28 both remanded since 2007 and 2006 respectively, were released because no information had been filed against them by the DPP. Other lucky ATPs included, Ihendu Oso, Samuel Uche, Nduderim Nwabueze, Chika Uzoma, Joseph Kalu, Emeka Uche, Chinecherem Ugochukwu and Okoroafor Nkemakolam. 
Unfortunately, the Clinicians were not allowed to take pictures at the Prisons. It was an exciting experience.
