Singing Superstar Davido’s Father Secures The Release Of 200 Prisoners

Nigerian business tycoon Dr. Adedeji Adeleke and father of pop star, Davido, has secured the release of 200 prisoners detained at the Ilesha Prison in Osun State. He had said that he was shocked at the condition of the inmates when he had gone to visit a distressed politician who was earlier detained. Many of the inmates have been detained for years for paltry fines of five thousand Naira. Top officials have commended the act, saying the kind act was done by the tycoon out of commiseration for suffering Nigerians. According to reports, even a nursing mother was detained along with her baby for owing a small amount of N65,000. This kind gesture displayed by Adeleke, was however not extended to inmates convicted for severe crimes. Photo Credit:
