The Plateau Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service says it has not reduced the quantity and quality of food rations for inmates.

Spokesman of the command, Mr Godfrey Longdiem, stated this in Jos on Saturday while reacting to media reports that inmates at the Jos Custodial Centre protested over shortage of food on Friday.

He added that instead, the command was planning to change inmates’ menu because of current hike in prices of foodstuffs.

“The command wishes to clarify that it has no intention or plan to reduce the quantity or quality of inmates’ ration, but to supplement their meals as a result of the hike in prices of foodstuffs.

“Inmates are normally served rice four times in a week.

“Contractors, however, complained about incessant increases in prices of food items, particularly that of rice and consequently, they requested to serve rice twice a week and supplement with another food.

“This request did not go down well with the inmates, but the situation was later brought under control without harm or injury to anyone,’’ he stated.

Longdiem called on Plateau residents and Nigerians in general to disregard media reports that suggested an attempted jailbreak at the Jos Custodial Centre.

Every rebuttal from them must be true

The FG should start handling over the control of most of this prisons to the state government.

And you think we will believe you?

Pity prison inmates. With current high cost of foodstuffs, even free Nigerians are struggling to feed talk less of prisoners.

This is disinformation!

So, you had to call all prisoners to the assembly ground to break the news that watery rice will now be served twice a week instead of 4 and all hell broke loose.

It doesn't make sense for the federal government to give up its assets. They should simply stop accepting state law offenders. .

Wow, Im relieved to hear that the quantity and quality of food rations for inmates hasnt been reduced and the command is just trying to adapt to the current situation.

Dem dey chop rice 4 times a week, d rest go be beans oh.... Omo

All the murderers and violent ones among them should be shot to death so that food go fit reach the others.

Or better still bound them hands and foot and put them to work in big farms so they can farm their food theirselves.

Government too should reduce the population of the prison....that way, it can help in the food management....some people have been on death row since during the war.....they never remove them

The picture used in this article is an insult to prisoners.

Why waste tax money on prisoners?

Let them cultivate what they eat!
