Wrongly Jailed for 10 Years: Young Man Speaks Out Against Kirikiris Dark Past
A young Nigerian man was wrongly jailed for 10 years after being falsely accused of robbery, but has now been released on a plea bargain, freeing him from Kirikiri Medium Correctional Centre in 2014.
A young man has been released from Kirikiri Medium Correctional Centre after serving a decade-long sentence for a crime he did not commit. Chidozie Ajokuji, who was jailed alongside three friends, accepted a plea bargain that led to his freedom last week. He spent the past 10 years in detention for allegedly being involved in robbery, but it has since been revealed that he was wrongfully accused and imprisoned with his friends between 2014 and last month. The incident highlights concerns over wrongful convictions and the need for effective justice systems.
