Katsina Gov’s wife pays ₦350,000 to secure release of 5 female inmates

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the governor’s wife settled the debts in Katsina on Friday.

According to Radda, the move was to enable the women who were sentenced due to debts, to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families.

She restated her commitment towards supporting women in the state.

In his response, the Deputy Comptroller of the Correctional Centre in the state Saidu Salisu commended the governor’s wife for the gesture.

The gesture, he said, will contribute towards reducing congestion in the Correctional Centres in the state.

The women also commended the governor’s wife for settling their debts and assured her that they would not be involved in any debt issues again.
