                (a)          detention of that person is manifestly unlawful; or
                (b)          person detained has been in custody, whether on remand or otherwise, for a period longer than the maximum period of imprisonment which the person detained could  have served had he been convicted of the offence in respect of which he was detained.
 A total number of 16  inmates were discharged from the charges they were being detained for and 10 others were granted bail on some terms and conditions .
Some of the inmates released had stay up to five years in prison without formal trial in the court of law.

The most emotional part of the event was when mrs victoria Ebenyi was released permanently from prison custiody.
