Prisoners Absent From Ilorin Courts Due to Collapsed Bridge

Ilorin— The collapsed bridge in Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State, which links Ilorin, has hindered the movement of inmates to courts from Mandalla Prison in Asa Local Government Area, to the state capital.

The bridge, popularly called Moro Bridge, that links Oyo and Kwara states, collapsed yesterday.
The officer in charge of the prison, Alhaji Abayomi Gbadamosi, told newsmen at Mandalla yesterday, that the situation of the bridge was why inmates could not be in court.
He lamented that apart from the inability of the prisons management to move inmates to court in llorin, the development had paralysed other activities at the prisons.
He said: “Operationally, the prison cannot make its statutory representation in various courts in llorin since the collapse of the bridge.”
