The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, said on Friday the Federal Government will stop feeding state offenders in correctional centres across the country from January next year.
The minister, according to a statement issued by his media Adviser, Sola Fasure, stated this at the commissioning of the Command Headquarters of the Nigerian Correctional Service in Owerri, Imo State.
He stressed that the state governments must take responsibility for their inmates since more than 90 percent of individuals in custodial facilities across the country are state offenders.
