Man Called To Bar After Spending 12 Years In Prison For A Crime He Didn't Commit by osifoblessingme: 7:08pm On Nov 29, 2019
A Nigerian man identified as Akpoghene Edeno has proven to many people that with faith and determination coupled with hard work, nothing is impossible to achieve.

He was recently called to bar but his life story has left many people in awe. According to Facebook user, Charles Mallam-Obi, Edeno was imprisoned for 12 years for a murder he did not commit.

This, however, did not stop him from pursuing his dreams as he not only wrote WAEC in prison, he proceeded to study law after he was released.

The post reads: "Akpoghene Edeno is my childhood friend who spent twelve years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. He wrote WAEC while still in prison. He came out in 2012 and immediately proceeded to the University of Benin to study Law. Today, he has been called to the Nigeria bar."

If this was in a sane clime, he would be hugely compensated for every of those years he stayed in prison unlawfully.

But of course this is Nigeria.

Watch when they see us, read articles about unlawful incarceration in the US and other places in the world.

The angel wey carry me come Nigeria by next year December I go tell you thunder fire you.
