Built in 1910 by the British colonial administration within the grounds of the Kano Emir\u2019s Palace, Kurmawa Prison was originally designed to accommodate 690 inmates. Over its 115-year history, the facility has stood as a significant symbol of Kano\u2019s colonial and correctional legacy.<\/p>\n

According to Ibrahim Adam, the Special Adviser on Information, the heritage redevelopment project will involve relocating inmates from the colonial-era Kurmawa Correctional Center to a newly constructed facility in Janguza, located near the military barracks along the Kano\u2013Gwarzo\u2013Dayi Federal Highway. Adam shared the update via his verified Facebook page on Monday.<\/p>\n

Existing statistics revealed that the Janguza facility, built by the late President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s administration, has a capacity to accommodate 3,000 inmates.<\/p>\n

\"Prison\"<\/p>\n

Adam said, \u201cKano State Government under the leadership of Gov. Abba K. Yusuf will transfer all inmates currently at the Kurmawa Correctional Center to Janguza, while the Kurmawa Correctional Center will be transformed into a museum dedicated to preserving historical artifacts and promoting the rich culture of the State.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Adam said the prison-to-palace of history is expected to serve educational and tourism purposes among centres within and around the ancient city of Kano.<\/p>\n

He stated that, \u201cWe want to preserve our heritage and at the same time provide a more decent and secure environment for inmates.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
