An inmate of Keffi Medium Security Prisons, Ikechukwu Emmanuel, has been released after eliciting the compassion of Hajia Gwamma Ja’afaru, the President of the Prisons Officers Wives Association.
Not listed to be a beneficiary of PROWA’s prison decongestion effort Emmanuel started to cry on seeing 14 other inmates leave after the association paid fines to secure their release.
After the others left, Emmanuel remained behind and began to cry.
His cry attracted the attention of the PROWA president, who was touched and made inquiries about him.
When Emmanuel was told that his fine was not in the range of the others, which PROWA paid, he was asked to return to his room and he began to cry more.
Ja’afaru, who was moved by his tears, consulted with her team and decided to pay his fine of N65,000.
