Prisons Controller, Two Others Face Suspension Over The Release Of Convicted EX- Gov.

The unexpected release of convicted Ex Adamawa State Governor, Bala Ngilari,
has led to the suspension of three senior Prisons Officers of  the Nigerian  Prisons Services.

Premium Times reports that, the suspended officers include: Peter Tenkwa, the Controller of Prisons for Adamawa State, Abubakar Abaka, the Deputy Comptroller and John Bukar, a Superintendent of Prisons.

The officers were suspended due to their roles in the issuance of false medical report presented to the court which facilitated the released of Ngilari, who was convicted over corruption charges.

Though, the Governor had been sentenced to a five - year jail term, he was granted bail by Justice Nathan Musa of Yola High Court, last week, on health grounds after the "medical report" was presented before the court.
