The Anambra State Chief Judge, Justice Onochie Anyachebelu, has concluded the 2025 annual prison visit at the Medium Security Custodial Centre Awka, where he released seven inmates and granted bail to about seven others, ordering that the trials of those granted bail be continued at the regular courts.
Justice Anyachebelu, during court proceedings that lasted for hours, denied bail to a rape suspect, Chukwujioke Ezeibekwe from Ekwulobia, who told the court that he did not rape anyone but “married” and now has two children with his biological sister, as the matter was adjourned to January 20, 2026.
Addressing journalists after the court session, Justice Anyachebelu noted that the routine visit offers an opportunity to review the cases of some inmates with a view to helping decongest correctional facilities, while regretting that the crime rate is on the increase.
On his part, the Officer in Charge of the Medium Security Custodial Centre Awka, ACC Innocent Amaechi, said inmates at the facility are receiving life-changing experiences that will make them better citizens, adding that more such visits would help in decongesting correctional facilities.
