As part of her humanitarian service, the Apeke Foundation has secured the release of a female inmate from a correctional facility in Kirikiri Lagos.
According to the foundation, the female inmate was said to be involved in a minor civil case of Phone misplacement and missing money but non fulfilment of his bail condition resulted in her detention at the correctional facilities until the intervention of Apeke Foundation who was on medical outreach to the facility.
The Team noted that their attention was called to the ordeal of the girl and promptly intervened with the help of the lawyer in charge of the case who handled it pro-bono and the foundation paid the money that lady in question was billed to pay as her bail condition and the lady was therefore reunited with her family.
“Apeke Dynasty Foundation went on an outreach program to kirikiri Correctional Facility as part of her ongoing mission to promote humanitarian service, health support, and social reintegration for underserved individuals.
“We met a female inmate whose case was brought to our attention by another individual with a more severe case.
“Upon calling her for clarification, she narrated her ordeal; a minor civil misunderstanding involving a misplaced phone and missing money, which led to her incarceration.”
“Moved by the circumstances of the female inmate, the Foundation took the following steps:
—Contacted a lawyer associated with the case.
—Held a constructive conversation with him to understand the legal steps already taken and those required to secure her release”.
“The lawyer agreed to handle the matter pro bono, a gesture we deeply appreciated.
“We followed up with the legal process by visiting the court and ensuring all necessary documents and payments were handled swiftly.
“Thanks to the swift collaboration between the Foundation, the legal representative, and correctional authorities:
“The female inmate was discharged from custody 28th April 2025
“She has since reunited with her family.”
The Foundation also showed appreciation to the lawyer for offering his services free of charge.
Apeke Dynasty Foundation therefore expressed heartfelt gratitude to the entire outreach team for their selfless service, the volunteer medical professionals, the legal personnel who supported the cause, and all donors and supporters who made the outreach possible.
This intervention reflects the core values of the Apeke Dynasty Foundation : compassion, justice, and empowerment. We remain committed to restoring dignity to the underserved and will continue to extend our reach to those who need hope the most.
