Stanel boss Uzochukwu breaks record in Suleja prison visit [Photos]

There was an air of rejoice at the Suleja Prison when Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu provided the inmates with food items, medication and other items in one of his recent visits to the Correctional Center to celebrate his triplet’s birthday.

While he was singing, dancing and worshipping with the inmates, one of the inmates was permitted access to Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu and he whispered to him, “Sir, I am being held here because I have nobody to pay my fine of N50,000”, Moved with compassion, Uzochukwu ordered that the list of all inmates with option of fines and those without legal representation should be made available to him for immediate payment and legal services for their freedom.

Overwhelmed with the joy he saw in the faces of the inmates praising God at the Prison’s fellowship, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Stanel Group, also made pledge to donate state of the art musical instruments to replace the old ones.

On Saturday, May 27, two weeks later, the philanthropist made good his pledge to the Correctional Center and in his usual manner, he surprised both the management and the inmates in the facility with more than what was pledged.

In addition to the donation of the multi-million Naira musical instruments (which includes two master piece combo speakers, two master piece standing speakers, power amplifier, set of drum, mixer, 55′ smart television, set of wireless microphone, keyboard and others) Uzochukwu made payment of fines and legal services for all the inmates on the list, he fed over 500 inmates in the Correctional Center with rice and chicken and also donated about one thousand loaves of Stanel bread to both the inmates and the staff.

Reacting, the Officer in charge of the Suleja Correctional Center, Abdullahi Madaki said, “This is the biggest aid we have received from an individual or group in this facility.

“Many have come to make pledges like him but they never come back and the pledges never redeemed.

“We thank the CEO of Stanel Group, Dr Stanley Uzochukwu who has come to assist us and our inmates.

“We are very appreciative of what he did for us. It will go a long way to assist us in the area of reformation, rehabilitation and reintegration of the inmates. It’s this type of religious activities that are giving us hope.

“That’s why we have absolute control of them. By the time they will be using all these instruments, their mind will come down.

“Once again, we are happy and appreciate the donor for his magnanimity.”

Excited and overwhelmed by the gesture, the inmates were heard echoing, “Different people and organisations have been visiting us with promises but they never come back. But this man even did more than he promised us in less than two weeks. May God bless Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu for us for making us happy”, they exclaimed.
