Heads to roll over convicted ex Adamawa gov’s release from prison

Who wrote the letter asking an Adamawa State High Court judge to release the convicted former governor of the state, James Balla Ngilari, from prison?

This is the key question the leadership of the Nigeria Prison Service was battling to unravel last night, a few hours after some forces within the service had connived to free Ngilari, who had barely served a month out of his five-year jail term, from prison.

Vanguard learned that although the authors of the letter asking the judge to release Ngilari from prison, had claimed that the communication emanated from the Headquarters of the NPS in Abuja, the Controller General, Mr. Ja’afaru Ahmed, last night denied knowledge of such a letter from his office.

A furious Ja’afaru, whose attention was drawn to the embarrassing develop-ment, immediately ordered the issuance of query and suspension of all the elements involved in the forgery of the letter freeing the former governor.
