In his very brief speech, he took time to sensitize them on the administration of Criminal Justice act 2017 which was passed and assented to by the Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello recently, the benefits in persecution of delayed cases, and also underscored the need for partnership with the prison service toward evolving programmes that would benefit the inmates. While referring to Prisons as "a rehabilitation center", he said there's a need for the state government to build a Vocational and Training centre which will change their mentality and make them fully equipped and well responsible when they get out of prison.

Alhaji Ibrahim Linco Ocheje while speaking to the inmates encouraged them to be good citizens when they are out. In his words;  "I will like us to understand that the inmates are our younger ones, brothers and sisters; 98 percent of them are people from this LGA, therein lies the need for us to remember them and visit them.

Honorable Ahmed Mohammed presented food items and toiletries to the inmates and was received by the Assistant Comptroller of Prisons Mr. Ampitan Peter O. He thanked the honorable and his entourage, adding that the materials would go along way to improve on the infrastructure and lives in the prison.
