Another Nigerian Dies In Ethiopian Prison Over Alleged Poor Medication 6 Months After Death Of Countrywoman In Same Jail

A Nigerian inmate at the Kaliti prison, a maximum-security prison in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Uchenna Nwanneneme, has died of an undisclosed ailment.

Nwanneneme, who hailed from Anambra State, was among about 300 inmates of Nigerian descent at the Ethiopian prison facility.

They were arrested over allegations of possession of hard drugs and money laundering.

Multiple sources told SaharaReporters that Nwanneneme died on September 21 as a result of poor medication after he took ill.

They described the incident as an effect of corruption and poor state of hygiene and health services in the prison facility.

“He died due to the negligence and corrupt practices of the prison officer. He was sick for some days, but rather than give him immediate medical attention, he was left untreated for several days despite his obvious sickness,” one of the sources told SaharaReporters.

Another source accused Nigerian officials of showing a lack of concern about the welfare of citizens who are inmates in foreign lands.

He subsequently appealed to the new administration led by President Bola Tinubu to come to their rescue, adding that many of them regularly fall ill due to malnourishment.

The inmate appealed to President Tinubu to intervene so that they could be transferred to serve the rest of their jail terms in Nigeria.

Recently, a Nigerian, Chizoba Eze, died in the same Kaliti Prison in Ethiopia following alleged physical aggression.

Multiple sources had told SaharaReporters that Eze was brutalised by policemen in the facility, and died from the injuries inflicted on her.

It was also alleged that her corpse was left inside the cell for over 36 hours by the prison officials who allegedly prevented other inmates from informing the Nigerian embassy about the incident.

“Nigerian woman, Chizoba Favor Eze has been brutalised to death at Kaliti Prison in Ethiopia. She died on March 12, 2023. It’s so sad that the policemen killed our sister. They gave her internal injury on her chest after brutally hitting her on the breasts which led to her death,” a source in the facility had said.

“After a week, she started feeling sick because of the result of the internal injuries she had inside her body. They took her to the hospital for the first time to receive treatment and the doctor gave her an injection and they brought her back to her room.

“The deceased started feeling weak again and they took her to the hospital on Saturday being March 11, 2023, then they brought the same injection which the deceased complained bitterly that the injection was not good for her body. She added that she didn’t want to take any injections again, and they gave her the injection forcefully.

“On Sunday morning, she died. She died inside her room which made the other foreigners, such as Brazilian and Venezuelan women and others feel bad because the injection the deceased took led to her death.

“The foreigners went through the bag of the deceased and took the Nigerian embassy's telephone number in order to call the embassy, because the deceased person’s body was there with them in the room for over 36 hours. So the foreigners decided to call the embassy of Nigeria to tell them what was happening, but the policewomen did not allow them to call the embassy.”

It will not be well with you.
Money realized from taxes paid from hardworking Nigerians like myself should be used to fly in drug dealers and fraudsters.
Same people who are out there painting a bad image of the country.
I suggest they all be hung, make them use one rope, make them no waste rope, I for say make the shoot them but they are worth less than a bullet, no room for wastage

EXOUSIAng:

Lol this has never travelled before, he thinks it's the airline that catches the drug dealers, he is hoping that AirPeace owned by an Igbo man would make it easier for drug dealers to fly their drugs all around the world.....
An Igbo man will always find someone else to blame.
They are doing drugs because we don't have a functional airline I guess, by your point you are saying if air Nigeria was functional, the drug dealers wouldn't have been caught, which for you is a better alternative.
You dont see anything wrong in them doing drugs, you only see something wrong with the aviation department.... SPITS

PS: I actually won't die a miserable death simply because of my stand against drug dealing.

Really, but your intelligence quotient is less than that of an Ape,

If your not miserable, why should u be on this thread posting your hate filled bigotry?


U have already assumed all 300 Nigerians held in Ethiopia are from the tribe you hate but cannot move on and allow them have their own country.


U will definitely die a miserable death because it is the life and death of fellow Nigerians stranded in Ethiopia news that was posted and their was no need for all this hate you showed on this thread.


It is good that you keep exposing your evil tribalism so everybody will be understanding just how bad it is.

EXOUSIAng:

Why should my tax be used to get criminals out of jail, we have many sick people in Nigerian hospitals who can't afford hospital bills na criminals we go use money bring back.
I told you to look up the meaning of the word "stranded" you don't want to.
Those guys are not stranded. A man who is in jail for a crime is not stranded.
Stop saying they are stranded as if they are there because they don't have transport, don't you see the huge number of Nigerians we bring back from Libya, Niger, Ukraine etc, those are stranded people criminals in prisons are not stranded, they are already home, the prison is their home.
No government will spend 1kobo to fight for drug dealers....

You a re obviously a fellow drug dealer, the way you are so passionate about them.
I know plenty of your brothers dey there and them been dey send you part of their profits from the drug trade but WE NO SEND UNA MESSAGE NA

legitnow1:

i personally dont care about your bigotry or hate.

if your hate is that serious, by now you suppose say other tribe get out, we want a country with only our tribe.


u have not done that rather you are the one shouting and calling people that want a country separate from you all manner of name, sending fighter jets to bomb them and doing python dance.


if you dont know, u are the parasite that need a host.

EXOUSIAng:

Who is talking about your imagined online country who care you stay or go.
Where is this even coming into this issue.
I said nobody should use our hard earned money to bring back drug dealers, fraudsters and murderes and you are here barking about an online country with an online Prime Minister that doesn't have office

legitnow1:

It is the resources of the land that is feeding you.


It is called state allocations.

That resources does not come from your land in SW.


Stop wasting your time typing nonsense.


I dont need your contribution on this thread.

EXOUSIAng:


This one doesn't even understand how the tax system works he thins its those small papers they give them in their two by two shops where they sell substandard products produced in one backyard in China.

I know you were hoping to open the thread and get sympathy but oga we no pity your drug dealer brother, one less bad egg to worry about.
Na una dey assassinate the great country called Nigeria....
Imagine, our money should be used to make drug dealers destroying the name of the country comfortable.
So that other countries would feel that our government supports their dirty trade....
We no do.
Make them die there

RevDesm0ndJuju:


So you can use the airline to traffic drugs directly and from there bankrupt the airline through fines at destination airports when they catch una
