The infamous Ibrahim ‘Chika’ Nafiz has been released from prison under parole.
Nafiz was sentenced to five years imprisonment after he was found guilty of possessing an illegal sword in July 2008.
Director General of the Department of Penitentiary and Rehabilitation Service (DPRS) Mohamed Rasheed confirmed to Minivan News that Chika was released yesterday afternoon.
”He is released under the same obligations as others who are released on parole,” said Rasheed. ”There are people who have to report to DPRS weekly, and have to give urine samples weekly.”
Rasheed said he regretted that the media was reporting Chika “as a bad person.”
”He is a good person, he was very good during his time in prison,” Rasheed said. ”And nobody should be worrying about it, because it was an opportunity for him to be good. If everyone says he is a bad person he might just not be able to use this opportunity, so just give him a chance.”
”He is not a threat to the society,” he added.
Rasheed referred to the life of Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) and Abu Sufiyan.
”Abu Sufiyan was a great enemy of the Muslims before he became a Muslim, but later he was one of the heroes and brought victory to the Muslims,” he said.
He added that Nafiz was released because he was eligible for the parole.
Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam said he did not wish to comment on the issue.
