Senate Minority Leader, Dr. Orji Uzo Kalu has narrated how God used him to secure the release of over 100 inmates from Kuje prisons in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Kalu who paid a special visit to the facility on Friday in the spirit of Christmas said that many Nigerians were languishing in the prison for not fulfilling the requirements of the law.<\/p>\n

The Senator narrated the event on his verified Facebook page on Friday.<\/p>\n

On an emotional note, Kalu recounted two separate incidents that has had brought tears to his eyes.<\/p>\n

According to him, the first was when Igbos were deported from Lagos to Onitsha in Anambra State and the second being the day he was taken to prison.<\/p>\n

It will be recalled that Kalu<\/a> who was a two term governor of Abia State between 1999 and 2007 was pronounced guilty of embezzling about N7.1billion from the State coffers by the court<\/p>\n

In December 2019, Kalu was sent to Kuje prisons in Abuja to serve a 12 year jail term.<\/p>\n

However, in May, 2020, respite came his way as the Supreme Court quashed the conviction and ordered a retrial.<\/p>\n

Kalu who shared pleasantries and ate with some officials of the prisons wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of my covenant with God to encourage and support the mental wellbeing of those in detention, I have been visiting and spending time with them and today is one of those days.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I became an adult and as long as I can remember, there have been two occasions I wept and couldn\u2019t hold back. The first was the day Igbos were deported from Lagos to Onitsha. After my reaction to the unceremonious event, I questioned the humanity in this country and the embarrassment attached. I never foresaw that such could ever happen in my lifetime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second was when I was at the Nigerian Correctional Service Medial Security Custodial Centre, Kuje, Abuja. Somehow, one young man (names withheld) approached me and sought an audience which I granted. He told me a pathetic story of how he found himself in prison. He is the only child of his parents and his father was also imprisoned. That night, I prayed and thanked God for encountering him. I didn\u2019t need anyone to tell me it was a set up for his family. After my intervention by engaging the services of a lawyer, himself and his father were freed. May God bless him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith God\u2019s grace , I was able to secure the release of not less than 100 inmates who were in detention because they couldn\u2019t afford a lawyer or bail. My stay in Kuje<\/a> actually gave me an opportunity to see the deepest and lowest ebb of the downtrodden. While many in detention are guilty of one crime or the other, there are several others who are languishing in detention because they could not fulfill the requirements of the law to be freed. They just needed little intervention and I am grateful to God for using me. However, I also noticed there are a few who do not want to leave the prison. For reasons best known to them, they feel much more comfortable spending their entire lives in prison. It\u2019s a deep world.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I visited the Nigerian Correctional Service Medial Security Custodial Centre, Kuje today in compliments of the season, I ate, drank and shared jokes with a few. Among other interventions in the Nigerian Correctional Service Medial Security Custodial Centre, Kuje, I am very happy that the solar power project I sponsored has helped the prison with 24 hour power supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy 2022, we will commence the building of a new cell to decongest the already congested prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Correctional Service for his commitment and great improvement in the correctional center<\/p>\n

\u201cI also thank the head of the Nigerian Correctional Service Medial Security Custodial Center, Kuje, Abuja, and staff for their selflessness and generosity in discharging their duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWishing everyone merry Christmas in advance! #OUK #KeepHopeAlive\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
