The 2016/2017 reigning Miss North East, Miss Blessing Peter Akor at the weekend facilitated the release of four prison inmates serving jail terms in Jimeta Prison, Adamawa State.
Queen Blessing said the gesture was spurred by their predicament and the need to contribute her quota towards jail decongestion.
She also observed that some prisoners spend years in prison for their powerlessness to pay meagre sums like N2,000 as fine and urged the public, particularly the rich to extend their hands of support to the prison in freeing such inmates.
“We are not stopping here, we would continue to support freeing inmates who are ready to make a change and positively contribute to the development of the society”, she said.
