Lawmaker sets eight Adamawa inmates free on Christmas day
Kwamoti La’ori, PDP member representing Numan/Demsa/Lamurde Federal Constituency of Adamawa, on Saturday paid the fines of eight inmates to secure their release from the Numan Correctional Centre.
Mr La’ori, who celebrated Christmas with the inmates at the facility, doled out between the N17,000 and N70,000 fines that were imposed inmates.
The lawmaker urged the inmates “to be responsible and law abiding citizens and totally avoid idleness because an idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
In his remark, Anthony Sanda, the Assistant Controller in charge of the Numan Correctional Centre, applauded Mr La’ori for his gesture.
