Ansar-ud-Deen Society, Kaduna Branch, has released four inmates from the Kaduna Medium Custodian Center after paying their fines. The Society also presented food, drugs, and household items to the inmates and held a rally in Kaduna to commemorate the Society’s centenary celebration.
To mark its 100th anniversary, ADS Kaduna freed Bitrus Daniel (32), Monday Clement (32), Suleiman Aminu (22), and Abdul Salisu (18) from Kaduna prison on Monday.
The Society also presented the inmates with a bag of garri, cartons of Indomie, spaghetti, malarial, analgesic, antibiotics, cough, catarrh drugs, sanitary pads for female inmates, washing and bathing soaps, sachets of toothpaste, and a small bucket of Vaseline.
ADS members had earlier held a walk from its Kaduna main mosque through Katsina Roundabout, Ahmadu Bello, Leventis, Yakubu Gowon Way, Bida road back to the main mosque.
Expressing their feelings after breathing the fresh air of freedom, the freed inmates expressed appreciation to Ansar-ud-Deen Society for the gesture. They noted that they have learned their lessons and vowed never to engage in activities that led them to jail again.
Bitrus Daniel expressed gratitude, saying, “I’m grateful to God and Ansar-ud-Deen Society for bringing me out. This is an opportunity for me to relive my life, and I would not misuse it. I learned many things which I would put to use. Fighting brought me to jail, which I would not allow to happen again.”
Suleiman Aminu said, “I thank Allah and Ansar-ud-Deen for granting me freedom. I pray never to come here again, and I hope to put the lessons I’ve learned here into use.”
Abdul Salisu noted, “I thank Allah and Ansar-ud-Deen for securing my release. With this opportunity, I pray not to come back here again.”
