Katsina governor’s wife pays off N350,000 debts for five female inmates
The wife of the Katsina state governor, Zulaihat Radda, has secured the release of five female inmates after paying N350,000 in debts they owe.
The governor’s wife settled the debts in Katsina on Friday.
According to Mrs Radda, the move was to enable the women who were sentenced due to debts to celebrate Eid al-Fit with their families.
She restated her commitment towards supporting women in the state.
In his response, the deputy comptroller of the correctional centre in the state, Saidu Salisu, commended the governor’s wife for the gesture.
The gesture, he said, will contribute towards reducing congestion in the correctional centres in the state.
The women also commended the governor’s wife for settling their debts and assured her that they would not be involved in any debt issues again.
