RESPITE has come the way of four convicts, sentenced for various offences in Anambra State, with the Senator representing Anambra South, Senator Andy Uba bailing them out by paying various sums to get them freed.
Senator Uba said he decided to pay the fines of N20,000 and N30,000 imposed on Maduabuchi John, Ifeanyi Arona, Innocent Onuorah and Ugozor Nwoba to make them better citizens in line with his social responsibility to his constituency.
The four were charged and convicted of various offences such as felony, store breaking, assault, and attempt to set building ablaze, which carried a fine of N20,000 and N30,000 respectively, or an imprisonment of six months.
They were charged before a Magistrate Court sitting in Akwa, Anambra State in April.
Since they could not pay the fine, they were committed to six months in prison before Uba came to their rescue.
Senator Uba said apart from getting them out of jail, they would be empowered through his community help project, so that they can become better citizens and useful to their families.
He assured that he will continue to discharge his responsibility to his constituency by assisting those in need of assistance.
