This guy has been in Prison for 6years without trial for doing nothing

Many Nigerians are in prison for one offense or another over something they did not do. The justice system is so poor in this country that once a suspect of a case is arrested and the real perpetrator is not found the suspect will be kept in prison and forgotten.

Here is another story of a young man who was arrested in a raid together with a criminal, despite the fact that the criminal denied knowing the young man , the police arrested him.

This story was shared by a Twitter user who raised the alarm that junior the young man has been in prison for over 6 years awaiting trial for doing nothing , just been at the wrong place at the wrong time. The boy was arrested where he was charging his laptop at a neighbor's place

The story shared by @hausa_girl identified the Nigerian man as "Junior" said the criminal the police arrested during a raid at the apartment confirmed Junior was innocent, but they refused to release him.

Read exactly what she tweeted;

This guy has been in maximum prison for six years without trial. He went to charge his laptop in his neighbour's house. That was how he was raided with the guy. Junior is not a criminal.. Six years of his life is wasted and he's still awaiting trial.

The criminal they arrested told them Junior was innocent but they didn't release him. Let's get him out please..

Our voices has to be heard!!! For how long will innocent people suffer from this failed system? Different cases of juvenile in prison for stealing onion or being in jail for raided with criminals.. He has wasted 6years of his life. This country owes Junior his life!

Please let us raise our voice for this young man. Justice must prevail..

I pray we never become victims of our poor justice system.
