OWERRI PRISON INMATES RECEIVE MATERIAL SUPPORT FROM IMO FIRST LADY


The wife of the governor of Imo State,  Nneoma Nkechi Rochas Okorocha in her magnanimity has donated 500 pieces of foams, 500 tubers of yam, bags of rice, bags of beans, cartons of tomatoes, cartons of Indomie, toiletries, among others to Owerri Federal Prison inmates.

Nneoma  Nkechi Rochas Okorocha made these donations when she visited the Owerri Federal Prisons in Imo State last week.

 

During the visit the governor’s wife paid the fine for the release of the following inmates: Chidera Ihunegbu, Oluchi Chidiebere, Philip Enyeribe, Izuchukwu Uba and Ebere Nwachukwu who have been granted bail but have nobody to pay for their release

While presenting the items to the inmates the Imo First Lady said the visit was intended to put smiles on the faces of the inmates and urged them to always put their trust in God.

She said the essence of living is to positively touch the lives and called on those in possession of authority and public spirited individuals to reach out and support those in need and warned against the stigmatization of prison inmates.

She commended the Staff and Management of the Prison for caring for the inmates and promised to channel their requests to the appropriate quarters for attention.

The Comptroller of Imo State Prison’s Command, Greg Adimforo lauded the governor’s wife for the humanitarian gestures and enumerated some of the challenges facing the prison to include sewage vehicles, over population, equipments for their workshops and construction of some
isolation cells for sick ones.

Some inmates of the Prison thanked the governor’s wife for the show of love and motherly care and appealed to the State government to grant them pardon with the promise that they will not repeat the acts that landed them in jail.

The governor’s wife was earlier shown round the facilities and workshops of the prison which include tailoring, hair dressing, carpentry, electrical electronic workshops, female and male cells and cells for special inmates by the Comptroller of the Prison
