The renovated hospital by RCCG at Maximum Security Prison, Kirikiri, which was commissioned by Pastor J.O Obayemi was a directive by the General Overseer, Pastor E.A Adeboye.
In reaction, the Controller of Prisons, Lagos Command, Mr. Tunde Ladipo described the newly dedicated hospital as the best hospital in any prison in the country.
He said, “You have made our work easy by what you are doing in the prisons such as improving the infrastructures and also feeding inmates in all Lagos prisons.”
