In a statement made available to Channels Television, the Executive Secretary of the Commission. Professor Bem Angwe, appealed to the Federal and Rivers state government to take urgent measures to address the congestion.
Professor Angwe added that decongesting the prison based in the Rivers State Capital will help reduce the increasing cases of attempted jail breaks.
