This one goes to the person that commented second on the thread. »»»»The guy in question is educated, why I say so is from his write up. Op are you sure that you were not guilty? And maybe while serving your prison terms you regretted and repented? And am sure that not you in the pics you posted. And you can't tell us clearly what took you there, and I and other NL's would love to also see the marks of the torture and you toe nails you said were pulled off. I hope am not asking for too much. Sorry for what you went through. But if am a movie producer I would have used your story to produce a blockbuster!.. |

All praise to Almighty God. May we not fall into what Moses has fallen into. If you were wondering and we're too lazy to Google..... Here is the Op's story. SOURCE: http://write.amnestyusa.org/case/moses/ Moses Akatugba TORTURED, BEATEN AND SENTENCED TO DEATH Moses Akatugba was sixteen years old when he was arrested under suspicion of armed robbery in November 2005. Soldiers shot him in the hand and beat him on the head and back before taking him to the police station. Moses then spent more than three months in police detention, where he says that police officers repeatedly beat him with machetes and batons. He told Amnesty that they tied and hung him up for several hours, and then used pliers to pull out his toe and fingernails. Finally, Moses was forced to sign two pre-written confessions. Last year, Moses Akatugba was sentenced to death for armed robbery, after eight years awaiting trial in prison. The sentence was based only on his forced confession and the testimony of the robbery victim, which was full of contradictions. Moses was just a boy when he was arrested. His mother was never even informed of his arrest - she only found out the next day through a woman selling wares on the street. Under international law, he never should have been sentenced to death, as he was a child at the time of the crime. The criminal justice system in Nigeria is weak, blighted by corruption and human rights violations. The use of torture is widespread and widely reported in Nigeria but most of the cases of torture by the security forces remain largely un-investigated. 5 Likes |

WarRLaY: he was arrested when he was only 16 years old for stealing mobile phones. he wasn't an armed robber when he was arrested. the police tortured him to confess he was an armed robber so the death sentence could stick on him. i signed the petition for his freedom through amnesty international UK so i am happy he's now gained his freedom. nigerian police is the most corrupt organisation in the world. they have probably allowed the real culprits of the crime to go scot free & they needed a substitute to punish for the crime. 6 Likes |

You didn't state what you were accused of, but regardless of the crime, torture is an international crime. It's a known fact that torture forces people to confess to crimes they didn't commit. It's wrong! If you can't present, in a Court of law, an evidence of a crime committed by the accused, then you've no right to detain the accused! And torture is a criminal offence, coercion is also a criminal offence! Unfortunately, Nigeria is a failed, lawless State. You're lucky they didn't kill you. Celebrate! |

The sentence was based only on his forced confession and the testimony of the robbery victim, which was full of contradictions. Even if Nigeria justice system is fuucked up, even if you were released based on technicalities, there's nothing that will make a robbery victim who might happened to be an adult to lie on a 16 years old boy. This story is false and was only arrived at to aid in the granting of clemency for this guy. When someone commits crime in Nigeria, they hide under the weakness of the nation's law in order to gain freedom. We have seen it in the inability of the EFCC to prosecute Ibori, Aturu, Fani Kayode and even the inability of the NDLEA to extradite Kashamu. The fact that these men were freed by the court doesn't mean they didn't commit the crime but they took advantage of the weakness of the nation's justice system. This dude commited the crime but was freed because Nigeria justice system in crap ! So don't come here preaching torture when you should tell young Nigerians to get serious with their lives by avoiding crime. |
