OWERRI \u2013 Six inmates of Federal Prisons, Owerri, have reportedly died of the dreaded HIV\/AIDS pandemic, while 12 others have been confirmed to be carrying the virus.<\/p>\n

The prison\u2019s Nursing Officer, Mr. Mike Anyanwu, a superintendent of prisons, said this when the Chief Judge of Imo State, Hon. Justice Benjamin Ahanonu Njemanze, carried out a jail delivery session in the establishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have recorded six deaths arising from HIV\/AIDS in Owerri Prisons. Twelve other inmates have been confirmed as carriers of the dreaded virus,\u201d Anyanwu said.<\/p>\n

He said more inmates might be infected and pointed out that there was no anti-retroviral drugs for such patients in the prison.<\/p>\n

Addressing the court in the case involving Chinaenye Onyeneho, who is suffering from a terminal disease, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Chief Soronnadi Njoku, urged the court to order that the inmate be transferred to the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, for treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the accused is left in the prison, there is the likelihood that he will infect other inmates. If he is also allowed to go home, his immediate family may not have the financial ability to take adequate care of his medical bills.\u00a0 The balance of justice is that he should be treated by the federal government,\u201d Njoku pleaded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
