A/HRC/7/3/Add.4 page 42 suspended and swung from the ceiling for 15 minutes at a time. He was forced to sign a statement. He has been to court twice, he has no lawyer, and his family is not aware of his whereabouts. 109. Danladi Hamadi, aged 35. In December 2006, he was arrested about 40 km outside Kaduna on suspicion of vandalizing oil pipelines. He was shot in his left leg and taken to Gwagwade Police Station. He was beaten with a wooden stick on his wound. After one day he was taken to Force CID Headquarters in Kaduna, where he was interrogated, but was not ill-treated. In Kaduna he was brought to the general hospital for treatment, whereupon the doctor recommended him to be hospitalized. The officers refused. He was brought to court in the first week of March 2007, and was granted bail. However, because he has not been able to produce a certificate of security, the bail has not yet been effected. 110. Ms. Paulina John, aged 35, a nurse. Since 24 February 2007, she has been detained in the women’s cell, and accused of performing an abortion. She reports that she was treating a woman, who was six months pregnant, and who subsequently lost her baby. She was interrogated at the CID, but was not ill-treated. However she was threatened that if she told anyone about her detention she would never be released. She has a lawyer, but police deny him visits. She further complains that she is refused access to toilet facilities. 111. Recommendations. The Special Rapporteur recommends that immediate medical assistance be provided to injured detainees, in particular to Mr. Bello. The Special Rapporteur recommends that prompt and independent investigations of all torture allegations be carried out in order to bring those responsible to justice (i.e. Commissioner of Police Ernest Ibhaze, his assistant Alkali Usman Yakubu, the Officer in Charge, as well as Sergeant Danlame, from Wakawa, Sabu Police Station, who had been identified by several detainees as a perpetrator of torture). VIII. KADUNA MEDIUM SECURITY PRISON, KADUNA, KADUNA STATE (Visited on 8 March 2007) 112. The Special Rapporteur was received by Mr. Momodu, the Controller of Prisons, Mr. Patrick Ondoma, Chief Inspector of Prison and his staff. Kaduna Prison was built in 1915 for an inmate population of 547. On the day of the visit, the population was 959, which is served by 224 staff. Sixty-three percent of the detainees are awaiting trial; 11 percent were on death row, including one woman; and there were ten women detained in total. 113. General conditions of detention and treatment. The Special Rapporteur had a comparably good impression of the prison. The facilities are clean; detainees get enough food and have the possibility for recreational or vocational activities (except those who are condemned). With the exception of some allegations on ill-treatment in the women’s wing, he did not receive any strong allegations of torture committed inside the prison. There seems to be a consensus among the staff not to inflict corporal punishment. At the time of the visit, 104 condemned prisoners were held in the prison (Building 5, and in cells next to the gallows), many of them already for more than 10 years. Two condemned prisoners were convicted on the basis of Sharia law. While he did not receive any explicit allegations of torture, detainees complained to the Special Rapporteur that they are barred from participating in any educational, vocational or recreational activity. The Special Rapporteur was informed that detainees on death
