HIV/AIDS kills 6 inmates of Owerri prisons

 Six inmates of Federal Prisons, Owerri, have reportedly died of HIV/AIDS, while 12 others have been confirmed to be carrying the virus while inside.

  Sources says more inmates might be infected and pointed out that there was no anti-retroviral drugs for such patients in the prison.

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.
“If 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.  The balance of justice is that he should be treated by the federal government,” Njoku pleaded.


But how is this dreaded disease spreading within the prison walls....I am not getting the clear picture here,are the wardens sleeping with the prisoners or the prisoners sleeping with each other...
Hmmmmmm
