A man identified as Chukwuma Okpara has regained his freedom after spending over six years in a prison in Owerri, Imo state capital for a crime he did not commit. It was revealed that the man was wrongly accused, arrested and incarcerated at the state CID over a man's death - a crime he emphatically denied.

He was later remanded in prison for murder.

Evangelist Christian Chukwuka who visited the prison last year and advocated improvement of inmates in the prison, met with the man and prayed for him.

The man who was charged to court for murder - was later discharged and acquitted this year after spending six years in prison.

this can only happen in jaija

Thank God for his life!

my goodness, our Judiciary wasted 6 years of his life. Lord Jesus, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from all evil.

No compensation for the years of life wasted.
There was a country

This is Nigeria

So it doesn't happen in America?

Una sha go dey find any reason to condemn the country

DIYhackers:
That's serious. Not everyone in jail truly committed a crime. The Nigerian security and judiciary system is so messed up

Not only in Nigeria.
It happens all over the world.
