Somalia’s chief of Prison services has refuted claims that corruption and mistreatments is rift in Mogadishu central prison.

In an exclusive interview with Sunatimes, Gen. Cadi Ismail Mohamed said such allegations are unfounded and baseless, saying that the facility is a corruption free zone.

He said no one has ever been secretly released from this detention centre.

Mohamed said their officers are well trained and no torture or mistreatment of prisoners has ever been reported, adding that the facility now holds hundreds of detainees who are either serving their jail terms or are waiting for their sentencing.

His sentiment comes a time there are growing concerns of alleged mistreatment of convicted prisoners at this TFG controlled facility in Mogadishu.
