The Catholic Bishop of Kano Diocese, Bishop John Namaza Niyiring, has charged prisoners to be prayerful and discipline as they serve their jail terms, asking them to use their time to seek for God’s mercy and forgiveness.
Bishop Niyiring stated this when he visited some prisons in Kano and Jigawa states in continuation of Christmas festivities along with some catholic faithful, said the visitation was to extend love to people who were in prison for one reason or another.
“Millions of Christian faithful are out there celebrating and sharing with their love ones, that is why we are here today to share with you and celebrates this joy with you in the prisons. To bring love and hope that one day we all be free people again”.
The bishop stressed the need for sharing with the poor, orphans, widows and prisoners and the less privileges makes Christmas celebration complete.
While praying for the inmates, he assured them that one day they “will become free people again and rejoin their families. I believe that one day you all become free people again and be able to contribute positively to the society”.
