Anywhere in the world, 100 years is usually marked with fanfare but not so for Nigeria’s oldest prisoner, Pa Celestine Egbunuche, who clocked 100 last Saturday; August 4, within the confines of Enugu Maximum Prison.


The centenarian, who hails from Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, was condemned to death along with his son, Paul and another relation, now 87.


They were said to have been engaged in a fight over a piece of land and in the process, somebody died. With such fate, Pa Egbunuche has for over 17 years lived in desolation and hopelessness.

From the narration, I think he was sentenced 17 years ago

It Shall Never Be Well With APC!! It Shall Never Be Well With APC!!

This is too much, true justice should consider circumstance!

The govt should grant him state pardon or place him under house arrest... he is too old to be jostling for things in that gaol with the young inmates.

This is not pleasing to the eyes at all, it doesn't matter from what lenses you try viewing it. I won't be surprised if Papa doesn't live up to a month upon release. Very sad indeed.

Abegi so long you're in Nigeria, you're a prisoner, me sef I follow a 19year old prisoner

Who do we blame?
Buhari? , Apc?
No!
We blame every adult that voted in 2015 general elections, I'm glad I'm old enough to get my pvc, I'm gonna use it whether the vote counts or not .

But he wasn't too old to kill someone over a piece of land? If he comes out alive, any of the relative of the person he killed would murder him.
