A man who was falsely accused and imprisoned for "killing his neighbour" after taking her to the hospital, has regained his freedom after two years.  The man identified as Mr Chidiebere Onwumere, a native of Umuagbaghagha village in Osisioma local government area of Abia state, was jailed after being accused of killing his neighbour, late Uzochi Chinyere, who lived in same compound with him.
 
Narrating 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 suffering for a crime he knew nothing about, said it was in his bid to save a neighbour that caused him to suffer this injustice.
 
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.

buhari is a bascard...

Respect your elders. Oni agba Ni le Ni. . .. Eranko Omo alaileko. . . .

Buhari ko ni da fun e

Everything is so wrong with this country.. The former judge who found him guilty, the stûpid police force who couldnt conduct proper investigations with easily available leads from the initial medical report & the so called diabolic brother of the deceased should be made to face the full consequences of their actions & inaction. This country is just so so backward... A real shîthhole country being run by shithole individuals who are mainly only educated in paper but not in the real sense of it running ever goddamn organisation in this godforsaken mess called Nigeria

I should start learning to strictly mind my business.

Love your enemies and bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you. LUKE 6 :28

A babarian country

eleko1:
see the wickedness of fellow fl@theads.FEAR IPOB JUDAHS

You're hopelessly insane. I don't pity you but I pity whoever gave birth to a thing like you

abokibuhari:
Buhari ko ni da fun e

what is Buhari's matter in this issue?

WTF!!!
Please sue the police and all involved for wrongful imprisonment…. what nonsense police force we have. They hardly investigate anything.

MartinCorridon:
I read ALL the comments here.

WOW. Just because an ex convict claims he was innocent of a crime, it means he is?

If you have a good lawyer, you might escape a sentence even when guilty.

I am not saying he is guilty / innocent but i am shocked at how gullible Nigerians generally are.

He wasn't exonerated by DNA evidence ooo. Do you expect him to plead GUILTY if guilty, out of abundant honesty?.

Majority of our people are not critical thinkers and can be overly sensitive. None of them bothered to ask why he was the only person arrested, why not the pastor that drove them to the hospital in his car or other neighbours that contributed towards her treatment? Why ONLY him? Not saying he's guilty but there is a lot more to what happened than he's letting out

The guy look healthy very much unlike Afara inmates.

Buhari became president on 2015. This guy has been in prison since 2016.

LOL. Thanks for the comment. I felt i was running crazy reading naive comment after comment. I wonder why critical thinking is so hard for most Nigerians

We Muslims take such as an examines from Allah

And where is the elder brother that wrongly accused you? Shouldn't the man be punished?

Our laws are awkward. Na waoh

I do not understand.you had witnesses and even a doctor's report but you still went to prison.maybe you did not get a lawyer at the start or else they would have paid you for false allegation. Except you actually beat her.
