He wrote, “While in detention at the Force CID Abuja, I met a lot of inmates who their story broke my heart.

“Some have spent 5-8 months in the cell for bailable offenses & many abandoned.

“I promised myself to help as many as I can & so far, I’ve helped 3 inmates regain their freedom.

“There’re many poor inmates who have been there for months because they can’t afford a lawyer or find sureties. Many of them are there for light offences and many are also innocent.

“I’ve been helping some of the forgotten inmates financially since then.

“Many of the inmates there survive by begging with No hope or external help. I don’t think I can put everything in writing, it’s tough, very tough.

“Nnamdi is one of the inmates I met in detention

“The last time I visited the station, he cried to me bitterly, I’ve not slept well ever since then

“He was recently transferred to Anambra. & nobody is allowed to see him since then

“Why has the police refused to charge him in court?

“I call on Civil societies, human rights organizations, and other concern bodies to please intervene in Nnamdi Emeh’s case.🙏”
