Kano State Government has presented a collaborative proposal to the federal government to partner with it towards the full completion and utilization of the custodial center in the Janguza area of the state.
Leading a high powered state delegation to the Comptroller General of the Nigerian correctional service in Abuja, Kano State Commissioner For internal security, Air vice Marshal Ibrahim Umaru Retired, says the old Kurumawa custodial center no longer meets the present day reformation status.
The Kurumawa Custodial center, formerly known as Kano prison, was establish in 1910 by the British colonial administration and having lived for one hundred and fifteen years, the facility built with muddy sand is not just a security threat in the case of jail break, but can no longer serve the modern reformation intention.
