E talk say dem don request make the Minister of Interior review the money wey dem dey use to feed inmates from N750 per day to N3,000 per day, but dem never get approval. The joint panel come ask for the breakdown of the menu wey dem dey serve prisoners for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but the CG talk say dem get the menu based on the locality where inmates dey remanded, even though dem no carry the chart along. The Chairman of the Committee, Adams Oshiomhole, express surprise say NCS get 900 dogs across custodial centers and dem dey spend N800 every day to feed dogs while dem dey spend N750 on one inmate. E talk say many of the inmates never dey convicted, and feeding them with N250 per meal dey grossly inadequate.
