The man known to be Mr.Chidiebere narrated his ordeal to Abia Facts Newspaper
after his release from Nigerian prisons in
Afara, Umuahia on Tuesday, Mr Chidiebere
who was full of praises to God for vindicating
him after two years of going through hell in the prison,all because of he tried to rescue a life but unfortunately the person died.

He said:
“I came back to where I was residing at
Umujiji, Isiahia Osisioma around 6pm after 2
weeks in my village where I went to harvest
and process palm fruits only to see my
neighbour lying helpless and very weak and I
decided to assist her to the hospital with the
help of other neighbours since none of her
blood relations was around”.
“A pastor who resides within the
neigbourhood took us with his car to a
nearby hospital called Shiloh hospital where
the doctor after examining him asked us to
deposit 5000 naira to enable him conduct a
text that will determine exactly what was
wrong with her, I and some other neighbours
contributed the money and made the deposit,
when the result came out the doctor told us
that she was on substance overdose and was
knocked out by the illegal substance, he
assured us that he will treat her and she will
be well again”.
“The next morning Mr Promise the elder
brother to the deceased, arrived the hospital
and insisted on taking her away to another
hospital against the doctor’s advice, but he
insisted and took her to an unknown
destination”.
“After a few days Promise came back to our
compound and took me to World Bank police
station Aba where he handed me over to the
police claiming that I beat her sister to
death”.
“Despite pleas by neigbours and other
relations of the deceased that my hands are
clean and that there was a doctors report
stating that their sister died of substance
abuse, Promise insisted and filed a murder
charge against me and I was arraigned on
suit no. U/520c/2016 and remanded in
prison custody since June 2016 till date if
not for Barrister Jerry Uzosike who God used
to vindicate and bring me out of prison
today”.
Barrister Uzosike after leading Chidiebere out
of prison asked him to go home to his family
and reintegrate himself back into the
society,insisting that the system must seek
ways to not only address such injustice but
design a befitting compensation for victims
of injustice.
