A Nigerian man has been unjustly imprisoned for three years after being arrested while visiting a friend. Despite committing no crime, he has remained behind bars since the arrest, according to a lawyer who discovered his case during a pro bono visit to a correctional facility.
The lawyer revealed on social media that the man was simply at his friend’s house for the night when both of them were arrested, and he has not been able to regain his freedom. The revelation sparked outrage online, with many Nigerians condemning the country’s judicial system and calling for urgent reforms to prevent such injustices.
