Senator spends new year day eating with prisoners

Controversial Senator representing Adamawa north in the senate, Elisha Abbo spent 2020 New Year’s Day with inmates of the Nigerian Correctional Service in Yola, Adamawa. The senator, while sharing food with hundreds of inmates, condemned the fact that awaiting trial inmates had to wait for so long in prison for trial as a result of slow judicial process. He said the inmates must not be neglected because they are still human beings who were “unfortunate of being where they are today”. Mr Abbo added that he has made plans to secure freedom for some inmates by paying the fines of those who haven’t been able to pay their fines.
