As Nigeria gradually turns to a banana republic with world most corrupt institution, the Nigeria Police becoming the more known for its notorious acts, information reaching us says that an innocent man was arrested by them and kept to rot away in jail for the past five years, because he is a tall man.

The young man by name Jack Obhafuoso Osime a.k.a Jack Ododo was training as a Tanker Driver at Ewu, his birth place when an alleged criminal activity took place in the home of one Chief Enabor, the Eribo of Ewu. Enabor who reported the case to the policemen simply told them that the ‘armed robber’ was a tall man; a statement which led the police to pick up two tall men in Ewu, namely Godstime Aburime, who is a football coach and Jack Ododo. Finding the case lacking evidence, the police released them on bail.

Jack however knew that he was unjustly arrested and termed an armed robber and thus threatened to seek for legal redress. Before he could carry out his threats, policemen apparently acting on the orders of Mr Enabor arrested both of them again, but later left Godstime off the hook, while they took Jack to Ubiaja Prison, without charging him to court.

All attempts to free him has met stiff wall, as his father died from heart attack due to his son’s incarceration while his master, teaching him how to drive a tanker vehicle is dead through an accident. He is currently languishing in the prison with no one to plead his cause
