Nigeria Sets Up Inquiry into Alleged Poor Feeding of Calabar Prison Inmates

A video report on Facebook had alleged that inmates of the Custodial Centre were being subjected to inhumane treatment, including being served poorly cooked beans as breakfast.

A statement on Sunday by the minister’s media aide, Babatunde Alao, said his boss took a grave exception to the disturbing video report and therefore would want to get to the root of the incident.
