COVID-19: Ganduje releases 294 inmates

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has released 294 inmates as part of his Sallah gesture, assuring his continued concern in decongesting Correctional Centres in the state as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Shortly after observing Eid-Prayer at Kofar Mata Eid Ground, Kano on Sunday, the Governor proceeded to Gorondutse Correctional Centre where he facilitated the release.

He further revealed that in the last two months the State had released 603 inmates following the Presidential directive, hoping that the beneficiaries will henceforth be of good character.

He equally urged those who are still at the center to be observing COVID-19 protocols.

Speaking earlier at the Eid ground, the governor charged residents of the state to always obey the covid-19 protocols.
