Prisoner Dies Hours After His Fellow Inmates Contributed Money For His Treatment by Choiszman(m): 9:37am On Sep 25, 2017
An inmate in the Ogwashi Ukwu Prison, Smart Ohuzu, died yesterday morning hours after his inmates contributed money for him to be taken to the hospital. According to Prince Gwamnishu Harrison, the CEO of an NGO, Behind Bars Intervention, who shared the story online, prison officers had asked that the inmates contribute N5000 for the deceased to be taken to the hospital. Read his account of the story below...


Prison Authorities Out of Negligence kills Smart Ohuzu (Awaiting Trial prisoner)

Yesterday, another one happened. This is the worst. This time is a young man who was just remanded in Prison by a Delta State Magistrate court.

Two months he has been sick. Fellow inmates have been begging the prison Authorities to please take Smart Ohuzu to the hospital.

Yesterday morning, the sickness became worse and Prison Authorities called on the cell leader to gather N5000 from cell mates so they can transport him to Ogwashi Uku General hospital.

The poor prisoners contributed money. Some contributed 10naira, some 50naira and they were able to contribute 3,500naira. The money was remaining 1,500naira. These got Prison officers angry and refused to take Smart Ohuzu to hospital.

Inmates who saw Smart Ohuzu on the floor struggling, rush back to the cell and one inmate gave out the 1,500naira to enable officers take Smart Ohuzu to the Hospital.

Smart Ohuzu was rushed to Ogwashi Uku General hospital after they have collected the the money contributed. Getting to the hospital, the Doctors treated him and referred them to Federal Medical Center or Okwe General Hospital. The Doctor complained that they will stop accepting inmates from Ogwashi Uku Prison and they are always bringing inmates for treatment at the point of Death.

The officers, instead of taking Smart Ohuzu to the hospital the Doctor referred them, with chains on his leg they led him into the Green Maria (Black Maria) and took him back to the prison yard complaining of Man-power.

Smart Ohuzu was then chained and left in the cold, struggled and died with tears in his eyes.

Smart Ohuzu died three hours after he was forcefully brought back to into the prison yard.

The inmates can't complain, if they do, they either change their cell or punish them.

The pictures attached are the Awaiting trial prisoners we rescued last year but unfortunately they both died and many the law states are Innocent until Proven guilty are dying daily.

We members of Behind Bars Intervention hereby, state as follows

1. Minister of Interior ( Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau ) and Controller General of Prisons Mr. JA'AFARU AHMED should resign or build health centers in all the prison especially Ogwashi Uku Prison, Delta State

2. Minister of interior/ CG Prisons should make available to the General public the names of all Awaiting trial prisoners that died in custody from 2013 till date (close to 1000) or we will be forced to publish their names.

3. Minister of interior/CG Prisons should urgently rally round and setup Toilet facilities for prison inmates to reduce infection as 150 inmates uses just two WC. (More Explanation to this)
