The FCT Minister of State, Dr Ramatu Aliyu, has forfeited her May, 2020 salary to secure the immediate release of five inmates who could not pay for their fines at the Kuje Correctional Service.
She made the donation while felicitating with the inmates as part of activities to celebrate this year’s Eid al-Fitr.
Aliyu in a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Mr Austine Elemue, on Tuesday in Abuja said the donation would further go a long way to decongest the Correctional Service already overcrowded with inmates in view of COVID-19 pandemic.
She assured the inmates that the FCT administration would take further legal steps to see to the decongestion of the Kuje correctional service.
