The Daily Trust Foundation (DTF), in collaboration with WRAPA, Hamu Legal, and Bahama Chambers, has secured the release of 21 indigent inmates from Kaduna and Katsina correctional centres by covering their fines and compensations.

In Kaduna State, 17 inmates regained their freedom from the Kaduna Correctional Centre after partners paid their fines for offences such as criminal conspiracy, trespassing, and theft.

In Katsina, four inmates were released, including a first-time offender from Batsari who had been unable to pay a N10,000 fine and N60,000 compensation after tragically losing his parents and siblings in a bandits’ attack.
