With well over 4,000 inmates, salt as he is now called thrilled members of the prison to a long lasting performances that will linger in their hearts.
On why he launched his album in the prison, Lamboginny disclosed exclusively to Dailytimes that alot of people do not that he once worked as an officer in the prison and as such he could connect to their pain and trials.
With this landmark achievement, Lamboginny is however calling on the government to look into prison deconjestion and also urged our judiciary to step up in the way they handle cases related to prisoners.
