The freed inmates were selected base on health status, lesser offences and those who have shown signs of reformation during their castration.
“We are freeing those who have poor health status, those with lesser offences and those who have shown that they have learnt their lessons.

On our part we will ensure that we have taken responsibility of your freedom by providing some assistance to you,” said Ganduje.
