One Nigerian man who was allegedly imprisoned for a crime he did not commit has at long last been released after spending 5 years in prison.
This sad story was shared by one Twitter influencer, identified as Oluyemi Fasipe with the username @YemieFASH who disclosed that he saw him in court after he was discharged by the court as no evidence could be established against him.
As per Yemi, the said man was mistakenly picked up for being a kidnapper by some SARS operatives. Then, he was also shot in one of his leg which led to him being amputated.
Oluyemi wrote,
“I saw this guy at the court now, he was discharged & acquitted after spending 5yrs in prison, he was mistakenly arrested alongside some kidnappers, he was shot by SARS during the arrest & had to be amputated. Imagine going through all these without committing any crime.
I spoke with his lawyer and advised him to write a petition to the Ondo State panel of inquiry on his behalf.”
