Bode George released amidst fanfare
The former
chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Olabode George, who was
sentenced to prison two years ago for fraud was released yesterday to
rapturous welcome by his family and political associates.
Mr. George, a
chieftain in the Peoples Democratic Party, exited the gates of the
Kirikiri Maximum Prison, Lagos at exactly 10;10 am on Saturday morning
amidst fanfare and jubilations.
He traded the
Prison fatigues for a native attire and as he stepped out he was
embraced by his wife, close family members and few party chieftains. He
later moved to a church where a thanksgiving service was held for him.
Leaders of the PDP, including former president, Olusegun Obasanjo and
some senior government officials were present at the occasion.
