About 40 inmates of the Goron Dutse and Kurmawa prison yards in Kano State breathed the air of freedom, following the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II’s intervention.
The prisoners regained freedom after the Emir paid their fines to the tune of N6.4 million.
Addressing the inmates after their release, the monarch urged them to go and sin no more.
