investigate if the above privileges
14:11
provided for Okun Idris were financially

believes that the peculiar case of the

inmates and the inmat physical look and
14:27
behavior pose a threat
14:29
and the lack of laid down rules for the
14:32
treatment of such a case may have
14:35
necessitated such privileges to be
14:37
granted to OK adris on the issue of ABD
14:43
Rashid Mina's son sending money to the
14:46
personal account of the Ku custodia
14:49
Center Deputy in charge who is the
14:51
Deputy controller of Corrections
14:55
cin this was found to be true the the
14:59
panel is of the view that DCC Kevin Ila
15:04
F who acted unethically and brought
