Mrs Ahmed urged the inmates to raise their hopes and be better citizens when they get back to the society.

According to her, they must have a rethink, as the drama and songs presentation by the inmate, showed that they have talents and can contribute positively to society.

She said people must appreciate freedom and told the prisoners to see it as a phase that they will overcome in life.

In his welcoming address, the Controller of Prisons, at Mandala and Oke-Kura prisons, CP Francis Adebisi, said it was novel for a Governor’s wife to celebrate Valentine Day with the inmates.

He commended Ahmed for her thoughtfulness and love she showed the inmates.
