The governor who said that the pardon was his own way of celebrating the Christmas with the inmates charged the beneficiaries to reciprocate this gesture by shunning all forms of crime to avoid coming back to the prisons while admonishing the rest to be prayerful as they are the next in line for a miracle.

Bishop Okoye who administered the sacrament of confirmation to each of the 20 inmates charged them to show that they have been endued with the Holy Spirit by being true soldiers and ambassadors of Christ both in prison and after they’ve left the prison.
