The Samari Nupe group which usually visit the Correction Center occasionally presented the Inmates with food, Soap, Magi, cash donations and other valuable items.
The officer in charge of the Bida Correction Center, SP Musa Garba Mohammed represented by Senior Superintendent Abubakar Abdulkadir while appreciating the group for counseling the Prisoners said it takes extraordinary kindness and Philanthropism to remember those in jail.
