Ogah, who addressed over 1000 inmates at the Abakaliki Correctional Centre, said he was detained for over six months for a crime he never committed.
The lawmaker, who visited Afikpo and Abakaliki Correctional Centre to donate cash, food items to inmates, said: “Your being here doesn’t mean that your own life has ended. It is a moment of trials. It is for you to redefine your future. It is for you to mend your ways because if you are outside here, you would have been a dead person.
“The reason I’m here to talk to you today, is to tell you not to be depressed. If you know why you are here, I’m not a judge or the court of law to talk about the offense you have committed but with your conscience, you know what is right, I urge you to forgive yourself.
