Samuel Justice, Victor Poko, and Sokoma, who had been awaiting trial for over six years, were discharged by the court after much legal tussle. This discharge story is even more amazing and fulfilling. David Eddiong, Nwekeala Chizoba, Innocent Lagbai, Gabriel, and Lokpia, all unjustly imprisoned for years—especially Nwekeala Chizoba, who has been incarcerated for over eight years—are now free. Their cases were particularly troubling, as they had been wrongly imprisoned without any documentation, leaving us unable to locate the necessary court that ordered their remand. For years many of them were not taken to court because they had no files and their remanding courts were unascertainable. Despite this daunting situation, our team did not falter. We persistently petitioned and reached out to key officials from Rivers State to Abuja. Eventually, we caught the attention of the Attorney General of the Federation and the Chief Judge of Rivers State. Noting our persistence, the Chief Judge made an unexpected visit to the prison today to specifically inquire into the case and ordered their discharge. We were at the Port Harcourt prison late into the day to ensure the administrative process for their release was completed. They are now free and being treated to a decent care by our directors, with plans for rehabilitation and reunification with their families underway. We want to express our gratitude to all our esteemed Board members, Governors, Directors, and supporters for your unwavering commitment and dedication. We'll update you with more details in the coming days. A just and fairer world!!!

Sad Report

Today we lost a beneficiary, Sheun. Sheun was about 16 years old when he was arrested, among 23 persons arrested in a mass arrest for stealing. Like most persons, he didn't have the money to bail himself out at the station, and he was subsequently remanded in 2016. Since then, he hasn't been taken to court, no complainant, no charge... he had lost contact with his people in the west. He was among 14 others who reached out to our foundation for help. When we took up his case, we discovered that he had no case file, nobody, even the registrar of the court, knows which court currently handles his matter. For over 8 years, he had been wallowing in prison, not going to court, awaiting help. Every time Sheun calls or every time we see him at the prison, he's always crying and begging for help. "I'm suffering here, I'm going to die here, I have never stolen in my life before, I have never wronged anybody to be here," he would always say. We tried, and we've been trying, with the scarce resources we have, in terms of manpower, finance, and all, unfortunately, we received the sad news of his passing at the Correctional center today. He was among 3 boys awaiting trial who just died today. It feels so bad and so sad. The truth is, we may not really understand the importance of our work as a foundation until you probably see things like this. If you know how the corpses of these persons will be handled, you'll see that even in death, Sheun and others like him will not find rest or dignity. Nobody deserves to be treated this way, even so when they are wrongly accused. We know this is not the kind of news we would want to hear but it's important we hear it anyways. Lets all actively get involved in our work. Participate in the outreaches, be a part of the change and hope of someone unjustly imprisoned in your state. Also, you may think it's small, but your freewill donations of whatever amount per month will really go a long way in taking the necessary steps in ensuring the 14 other persons in Sheun's shoes and many other cases don't end up dead like him. Please volunteer, participate and Donate.
